What's the difference between caries and cariosity?
Caries
Definition:
(pl. ) of Carib
(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.
Example Sentences:

(4) The most striking feature of some industrialized countries is a dramatic reduction of the prevalence of dental caries among school-aged children.
(5) Furthermore, the effect of immunization was examined in monkeys previously given fluoride in their diet and which had developed a low incidence of dental caries when offered a human type of diet containing about 15 per cent sucrose.
(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.
(9) The combined prevention of caries was conductive to improved treatment quality which was accounted for by a 1.5 to 2-fold reduction in the rate of disorders in marginal contact with filling material and secondary caries.
(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.
(15) By scoring every section of a tooth in this way, an overview was obtained of the location of all caries lesions in the occlusal surface.
(16) The aim of this program is to prevent dental caries by a weekly mouthrinsing by elementary school students.
(17) Root surface caries was expressed as total areas affected and as a percentage of the exposed root surface.
(18) Shaping and fine working of restorations necessitated by cervical lesions, abrasions at the necks of teeth, or root surface caries can often be arduous to complete.
(19) Oral complications consist of mucositis, salivary gland dysfunction, loss of resiliency of perioral tissues, periodontal disease, and caries.
(20) Significantly more remineralization was observed in enamel samples treated with the toothpaste containing 2,500 ppm F compared to that containing 1500 ppm F. 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.
(2) They investigated also the cariosity of individual teeth and the cariosity in individual subjects.
(3) In the investigated group they recorder a lower cariosity than in the same age group 30 years ago.
(4) They assessed the prevalence of caries and the intensity of cariosity by means of the DMF index.

(6) Poor finger nail care was not directly related to the standard of oral hygiene and the cariosity of the permanent molars.
(7) In all children the prevalence of non-carious changes of dental tissues was assessed, the cariosity (DMF), oral hygiene (OHI) and the state of the gingiva (PI).
(8) The authors give an account of the results of an epidemilogical investigation of the cariosity in adolescents of the East Slovakia region.
(9) The results indicate a marked increase in cariosity between the Iron Age and the present time.
