Summary

Tooth mobility (TO) is a risk factor in the progression of periodontal disease. Occlusal treatment can reduce tooth mobility, improve periodontal attachment levels, and enhance patient comfort.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Dental Medicine
  • Chronic Disease Management

Background:

  • Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting tooth-supporting structures.
  • The chronic disease model can be applied to periodontitis prevention and treatment.
  • Tooth mobility (TO) is identified as a potential factor in periodontitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of tooth mobility in the initiation and progression of periodontitis.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of occlusal treatment in managing periodontitis and its associated risk factors.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing evidence on tooth mobility and periodontitis.
  • Analysis of clinical trial data on occlusal adjustment in periodontitis treatment.
  • Assessment of the impact of occlusal treatment on periodontal attachment levels and patient comfort.

Main Results:

  • Tooth mobility is a risk factor for increased attachment and bone loss in periodontitis patients.
  • Occlusal treatment can reduce tooth mobility and improve periodontal attachment levels.
  • Patients with advanced periodontitis benefit from occlusal treatment, experiencing increased tooth stability and oral comfort.

Conclusions:

  • Occlusal treatment is a valuable component of periodontal therapy, particularly for patients with tooth mobility.
  • Addressing tooth mobility through occlusal adjustment can enhance treatment outcomes and patient well-being in periodontitis management.
