    Mobility

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses tooth mobility, classifying it as either physiological or pathological. Physiological mobility refers to a slight degree of normal movement that varies between individuals. Pathological mobility exceeds normal limits and can be caused by bone loss, trauma, inflammation or jaw diseases. Mobility is graded on a scale from 1-3 based on horizontal and vertical displacement when force is applied. Treatment options include scaling, regeneration techniques, splinting or extraction depending on the cause and severity.

     Toothmobility is defined as “degree of
    looseness of a
    tooth due to lack of attachment and diminished
    supportive apparatus.”
     Mobility can be classified into two types

     Physiological
     Pathological
     Itrefers to moderate force exerted on the
    crown of a tooth, which is surrounded by a
    healthy and intact periodontium.

     Teeth have a slight degree of physiologic


    mobility that varies for different teeth and
    at different times of day (greatest in the
    morning) .
     Increases in the morning

     Greater in children than in adults

     Increases during pregnancy.


    Tooth mobility occurs in two stages when
    occlusion forces are applied:

     Intrasocket stage: associated with


    viscoelastic distortion of the ligament

     Secondary stage: associated with


    deformation of alveolar bone
    When forces are discontinued, teeth return to
    their original position in two stages:

     Immediate springlike elastic recoil


     Slow asymptomatic recovery movement.
     When the mobility exceeds the limits of
    normal mobility values, it is known as
    pathological tooth mobility.
     Bone loss

     Trauma from occlusion leading to resorption


    of the cortical bone and reduced support.

     Unresolved inflammation

     Pathological processes of the jaws.


     Mobility is primarily in a horizontal direction
    ( faciolingually).

     Miller’sclassification:
    GRADE 1: slight movement (acceptable)
    <1 mm (horizontal)
    GRADE 2: moderately more than normal
    >1 mm (horizontal)
    GRADE 3: severe mobility in both lateral and
    vertical displacement.
    >1 mm (horizontal and vertical)
    Mobility is graded clinically by holding the
    tooth firmly between the handles of two
    metallic instruments or with one metallic
    instrument and one finger.
     Scaling
    The space that exists between the gums and
    the tooth is probably populated with lots of
    bacterial plaque, that being the reason why the
    gums keep growing apart from the tooth. A
    single cleaning session will remove all that
    plaque, allowing the gums to adhere to the
    tooth and the bone tissue to heal.
     Regeneration technique
     Splinting (incase of trauma)
     Extraction
