I am translating text that contains both "tooth decay" and "cavities." As far as I know, both translate into Spanish as "caries."
Do we have a more specific term in Spanish to differentiate the two conditions?
I found this explanation on the Web:
"if you have tooth decay/a cavity, then you might need a tooth filling. But the truth is that tooth decay and cavities describe two different things. Decay is a progressive tooth disease caused when enamel is compromised and the tooth is exposed to harmful oral bacteria. A cavity is the hole that forms in your tooth as the decay works its way through your tooth structure."

Non-PRO (1): Pablo Cruz
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Hola Abel(L). Pero el problema de tu respuesta es que el desgaste dental o deterioro del esmalte se produce muchas veces por simple fricción, uso dental prolongado con el paso de los años, sin aparición necesariamente de caries.

Hola Toni. No veo ningún problema. En primera el texto de George es de referencia, creo que cuadra con lo que está traduciendo. En segundo lugar, es un error usar la palabra "caries" en la traducción cuando claramente, quieren marcar la diferencia.

Wilsonn Perez Reyes
: Tooth decay también puede ser "erosión del esmalte dental". Esto si hay que diferenciar entre "tooth decay" y "cavities", aunque por lo general en español suele decirse simplemente "caries", sin hacer la distinción. / OK, en casos de especialización sí.

Así es Wilsonn pero en varias webs de odontología listan las etapas de aparición de caries y justo antes, citan "desgaste/erosión" del esmalte. Creo que George necesitaba esa distinción. Saludos

Caries superficial o incipiente
I shall start my approach to this query by defining”tooth decay” and “cavity”. It is important to say that they are not the same thing. It is also important to distinguish how both terms are used by both laymen and specialists (odontologists). The following explanation intends to reflect (hopefully) the use by specialists.
Since an image is usually worth a thousand words, I am attaching a link that includes a clarifying picture which is explanatory by itself.
https://www.choice-dental.com.au/are-dental-caries-and-cavit...
Are Dental Caries and Cavities the Same Thing?
Yes and no. Caries and cavities are often referred to as the same thing in oral health related articles and information, but there is a fundamental difference between the two terms. To further add to the confusion, tooth decay is often used alongside caries as separate terms to describe the process of bacterial damage to teeth, when in fact they are the same thing! How could three basic terms for a common oral condition get mixed up like this?
Well, to clear the air, let’s take a closer look at all three terms.
Tooth Decay is the Common Term for Dental Caries
That’s right. Tooth decay is a commonly used layman term to describe the bacterial or infectious disease process that damages a tooth. The only difference between the two terms is that dental caries is the dental (or medical) term used to describe the very same process. Another difference is that tooth decay is the uncountable term (like “money”) whereas caries is the countable term (like “dollars”).
Dental Caries (or Tooth Decay) Ultimately Develop into Cavities
As acidic by-products from bacteria continue to break down tooth enamel, eventually caries extend closer to the dentin or inner tooth layer. Up until this point, the acid has slowly penetrated tooth enamel because it’s the hardest material in the human body. However, bacterial acid is quite corrosive and eventually, it manages to penetrate all the way through tiny holes in enamel to the dentin or inner tooth.
That’s when things take a turn for the worse.
With its hard protective enamel layer damaged or gone, dentin is exposed and vulnerable to bacterial infection and acid by-products. That’s because dentin is a softer, less mineralised material than enamel. Bacterial acid has no trouble breaking down dentin and does so a lot faster. So fast, in fact, that this accelerated process causes cavitation in the inner tooth. This continues to mushroom out until a “cave-like” cavity is formed.
At this point, tooth decay (or caries) becomes cavities (or deep caries).
In other words: Whereas both “tooth decay” and “cavity/cavities” translate as “caries” in Spanish (layman usage), there is a distinct difference between the both, a difference that should be reflected in the translation. Cavities are the final stage of the process, i.e. when the disease affects the dentin and, in some cases, if not treated on time, even the pulp (= deep caries, caries profunda).
My suggestion is hence the following:
1) Tooth decay (caries): caries superficial/incipiente.
2) Cavity (deep caries): caries profunda.

La clasificación biológica se basa en el comportamiento de la pulpa frente al proceso de caries. Cuando la lesión se encuentra en la mitad externa del grosor dentinario, la pulpa se defiende de la injuria en forma favorable (caries superficial).
(14) Cuando la lesión está localizada en la segunda mitad del espesor dentinario la pulpa no se defiende en igual forma (caries profunda). En el espesor de la dentina existe un límite o umbral de resistencia fisiológico. (14)

In other words, if the tooth dentin (and pulp) are not affected, it is proper to speak of tooth decay, “caries superficial” in Spanish. When the dentin (or pulp) is affected by the process, then “cavity” or “deep caries” is the term to go, “caries profunda” in Spanish.
Whatever the final choice, I would maintain a clear distinction in Spanish between both concepts.

¿Qué es la caries dental?
La caries dental es donde los ácidos que ocurren naturalmente en su boca se ablandan y esencialmente comen la capa externa dura de sus dientes. Si no se trata, la caries dental puede crear agujeros, también llamados cavidades, en el esmalte que forma la superficie externa del diente.
¿Qué es una cavidad dental?
Una cavidad dental es otro nombre para definir un agujero, un agujero que existe en la superficie del diente.
El esmalte es la sustancia más dura del cuerpo humano y forma la capa externa del diente.
Una vez que la caries ha llegado a un punto tal que hay un agujero en el diente, es probable que las capas internas más blandas de los dientes se rompan.

Caries dental es la destrucción de material de los dientes, que incluye:
Esmalte: la superficie externa dura de los dientes
Dentina: la segunda capa, menos dura, debajo del esmalte
Pulpa: el interior del diente, que contiene el nervio y la irrigación sanguínea
Raíz: el área del diente que lo sujeta al hueso

Tooth enamel erosion occurs only in susceptible individuals regardless of food and beverage consumption patterns, that is, consumption of an acidic drink or food alone is highly unlikely to cause erosion. Susceptibility is highly variable from person to person and multifactorial in nature, as are the causes of erosion itself. *****Tooth enamel erosion is relatively rare and is easily misdiagnosed. A thorough differential diagnosis that eliminates the many other possible causes of enamel loss must be conducted. It is important to distinguish dental erosion from dental caries*****.

Caries dental es la destrucción de material de los dientes, que incluye:
Esmalte: la superficie externa dura de los dientes
Dentina: la segunda capa, menos dura, debajo del esmalte
Pulpa: el interior del diente, que contiene el nervio y la irrigación sanguínea
Raíz: el área del diente que lo sujeta al hueso

Tooth enamel erosion occurs only in susceptible individuals regardless of food and beverage consumption patterns, that is, consumption of an acidic drink or food alone is highly unlikely to cause erosion. Susceptibility is highly variable from person to person and multifactorial in nature, as are the causes of erosion itself. *****Tooth enamel erosion is relatively rare and is easily misdiagnosed. A thorough differential diagnosis that eliminates the many other possible causes of enamel loss must be conducted. It is important to distinguish dental erosion from dental caries*****.

: Hi Liz, this is too general, it does not reflect the distinction between both processes, i.e. "caries" and "deep caries".

the text is not asking you to differentiate, "caries" and "cavidades dentales" differentiates between the two queries asked

caries no cavitada?
Buscando un poco he visto que el "tooth decay" podría equivaler a "caries no cavitada", o sea , al producto de la desmineralización del diente pero afectando solo al esmalte y siendo hasta cierto punto reversible. Al otro lado estaría la "caries cavitada", con su señor agujero.

: Sí, Víctor, creo que no hay una terminología universal asentada (ni en español ni en inglés) y coincido con Abe(L) en que es importante tener en cuenta al destinatario de la traducción para la elección de la terminología.

You did not say anything regarding your query, now closed automatically by the "peer agreement" method (which I prefer not to qualify now, not in this case and not in general terms either). I consider the answer chosen as most helpful openly wrong (just a "neutral" for Abe(L) due to the high respect I have for him). But now, once the thing is over, I certainly would like to know what you think of the options you have been given to solve your doubt.
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Thank you and best wishes!
Pág. 41:
"Por otro lado, hay acumulación de la placa dentobacteriana, halitosis y desgaste del esmalte lo que conduce a la aparición de caries dental (principalmente ubicadas en cuellos y raíces de los dientes) constituyendo uno de los principales signos..."
Creo que esto es entendible por la mayor parte del público.
Las referencias de Toni y Víctor son para un público muy especializado pero es que además, en ningún momento dice "cavities" en la referencia que puso George. Solo él sabrá el target en cuanto a lectores, si es un sitio web/instrucciones para público en general o solo para odontólogos.
