Abstract:
The tooth resonance frequency method for periodontal condition diagnostics was compared with apparatus measurement of the tooth mobility in vivo. Tooth natural frequency and tooth mobility were correlated with clinical condition of tooth supporting structure. According to the condition of tooth supporting structure stability zones were indentified. The squared dependence between tooth natural frequency and the value of tooth mobility was revealed. The resonance frequency method is more exact for clinical assessment of periodontal tissues in comparison with instrumental measurement of the tooth mobility.

Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
