What's the difference between caries and carious?

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.

  • (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).

  • (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.

Carious


Definition:

  • (a.) Affected with caries; decaying; as, a carious tooth.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Sound (n = 28) and carious (n = 123) approximal surfaces of extracted premolars and molars were radiographed.
  • (2) When the practitioner has developed proficiency in restoring class II carious lesions with tunnel restorations, less treatment time is required than with traditional class II preparations.
  • (3) Ten freshly extracted teeth which had carious pulpal exposures and periapical lesions contiguous with the root apex were placed inside an anaerobic chamber and the apical 5 mm of the root canals cultured.
  • (4) Due to the influence of this diet deep carious lesions develop more slowly.
  • (5) A week of kanamycin gel treatment before and after the placement of dental restorations, compared to a placebo gel treatment, significantly reduced the levels of cultivable bacteria, S mutans and S sanguis, in the plaque samples collected immediately after the completion of the gel treatments, and was associated with a 46% reduction in new carious surfaces in the 14- to 37-month period following the gel treatment.
  • (6) They help the practitioner to make an early diagnosis of carious lesions and development of eruption problems, and they enable him or her to confirm and evaluate a pathology diagnosed clinically.

  • (8) In all conditions, the females had more carious lesions than the males.
  • (9) We propose the use of a methacrylate replication technique as the method of choice for studying pore distribution in carious enamel and present preliminary results using this technique.
  • (10) The initiation of carious lesions could be found in a few cases even when S. mutans comprised about 1% or less of the total streptococcal count of the specimen from the tooth surfaces.
  • (11) The relationship between this type of Retzius lines and the carious process is discussed, and it is suggested that the discontinuity defect may retard the carious lesion due to a protective effect of its supposed organic content.
  • (12) Exposure of carious lesions to 3 days in an oral environment without fluoride supplement reduced the size of the body of the lesions by an average of 5% (p less than 0.05).
  • (13) The indirect technique may be feasible for the restoration of carious teeth as well as the presented case.
