Caries

  • (n.) Ulceration of bone; a process in which bone disintegrates and is carried away piecemeal, as distinguished from necrosis, in which it dies in masses.

  • (6) If salt fluoridation could also be generalized, caries levels could be reduced to a fraction of their initial values.
  • (7) of age and based upon information about the dietary habits of the child could thus be of value to prevent caries in the preschool child.
  • (8) No significant differences were found in caries or gingival indices, in oral habits or prophylactic measures between the two groups.

  • (10) Caries also developed in rats inoculated with reference S. mutans strains BHTR and FAIR (type b) that had been maintained in the laboratories for many years.
  • (11) In spite of low fluoride content in their water supply, the findings revealed a generally low prevalence of caries experience (DMFT 1.26).
  • (12) Immunologic deficiency of congenitally athymic rats can lead to a greater infection level with mutans streptococci and increased dental caries.
  • (13) It was shown that: although the oral hygiene level was very low and no dental treatments were performed, caries level was very low--although gingivitis rate was high, advanced periodontitis rate was low--the frequency of interincisive diastema (one subject out of 4 in the 15-19 age group), the progressive decline of tooth cutting, a traditional practice, in town people but the large extent of cola use (one adult out of two).
  • (14) No clear population trends were seen in dental disease incidence except for cemental caries which were found among Copper and Bronze Age remains.

This result is consistent with the outcome of a recent caries clinical trial testing the same toothpastes and finding enhanced anticaries efficacy from the higher fluoride level.

Cariosity


Definition:

  • (n.) Caries.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Through thec concepts of a basal level of caries and a cariosity gradient, a single model was found which best described the occurrence of this disease in these samples.
