English term or phrase: Retainer tooth
Retainer och tooth retainer känner jag ju till såklart men i det här fallet är det tvärtom.

Se exemplet:

Preparation of the retainer tooth...If the retainer tooth presents metal surfaces (e.g. a cast metal post), these should be roughened with an abrasive microetcher/sandblaster or diamond bur, washed with abundant water and then receive a layer of MZ PRIMER (wait for 3 minutes).

Explanation:
I saw that the word retainer is used by Swedish dentists. I think it might refer to holders that are attached on the back of a tooth, like in the bottom picture in the ref. webbsite

Explanation:
"retainer tooth" tycks vara en synonym för "abutment tooth":

"many insurance companies and dentists refer to an abutment tooth as a retainer tooth instead."
