technical operatibity

English Medical Medical: Dentistry
Is it operatibity? or operatibility? I need to clarify the difference between them.
It's from an article about dental prosthetic procedure.
Thank you in advance:)

Thank you!!
Tony M Oct 15, 2006:
Of course, care is needed, as they just MIGHT have meant 'operativity' (a closer typo, especially as b and v are adjacent keys) — this word is not lisetd as such my NS OED, but might easily have been coined (perhaps incorrectly) from operative/ness, etc
Noha Issa (asker) Oct 15, 2006:
More context the purpose is: technical operatibity & verification of the centric relation........
Tony M Oct 15, 2006:
I strongly suspect you have a typo there; the word would normally be 'operatability', and AFAIK neither of your other 2 versions actually exists.

Thanks Jack
agree Tony M : Yes, although OED gives them as synonyms, I believe in certain contexts there may well be a difference in meaning intended
