[Tooth mobility and containment].

J Dombret, E Marcos

    Revue Belge De Medecine Dentaire
    |January 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Tooth hypermobility can result from periodontal destruction. While occlusal adjustments or splinting can help manage progressive mobility, treating the underlying infection is key to halting periodontal disease progression.

    Area of Science:

    • Periodontology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Context:

    • Periodontal destruction commonly causes tooth hypermobility.
    • Traumatic occlusion, especially with jiggling forces, can worsen tooth mobility and accelerate periodontal destruction in patients with periodontitis.

    Purpose:

    • To clarify the role of occlusal forces in tooth mobility and periodontal destruction.
    • To outline treatment strategies for managing tooth hypermobility and preserving tooth longevity.

    Summary:

    • Periodontal destruction leads to tooth hypermobility.
    • While infection control is primary for halting destruction, progressive mobility or functional impairment may necessitate occlusal adjustment or splinting.
    • Tooth mobility is a physiological adaptation to traumatic occlusion and not an automatic indication for splinting.

    Impact:

    • Provides guidance on managing tooth hypermobility in periodontal disease.
    • Highlights the importance of differentiating physiological adaptation from pathological progression.
    • Informs clinical decisions regarding occlusal adjustments and splinting for enhanced tooth longevity.
