Summary
Tooth mobility in healthy adults varies by incisor type, with central incisors being more mobile than lateral ones. Age correlates with tooth mobility and bone loss but not pocket depth.
Area of Science:
- Periodontology
- Dental Anatomy
- Oral Health Research
Context:
- Investigating periodontal health indicators in a large cohort.
- Establishing baseline data for tooth mobility, pocket depth, and bone destruction.
- Focusing on periodontally healthy subjects to understand normative values.
Purpose:
- To assess tooth mobility, pocket depth, and bone destruction in periodontally healthy individuals.
- To determine the relationship between age and these periodontal parameters.
- To compare the mobility of upper central and lateral incisors.
Summary:
- The study analyzed 616 periodontally healthy subjects.
- Upper lateral incisors demonstrated less mobility than central incisors.
- Age was found to correlate with tooth mobility and bone destruction, but not pocket depth.
Impact:
- Provides normative data on periodontal health indicators.
- Highlights age-related changes in tooth mobility and bone structure.
- Informs clinical assessments and diagnostic criteria for periodontal health.
