    Tooth Mobility and Bruxism

    Uploaded by

    GretaKeršytė
    Tooth mobility and bruxism are conditions that can affect dental health. Bruxism is the habit of unconsciously grinding or clenching one's teeth, which can occur during sleep or while awake. It is caused by factors like stress, anxiety, and malocclusion. Tooth mobility refers to movement of a tooth within its socket and can be either physiologic or pathologic. Pathologic mobility is caused by loss of attachment from periodontal disease or increased forces from bruxism. Treatment depends on the cause but may include splinting teeth, adjusting bite, or periodontal procedures to restore attachment. Maintaining good oral hygiene and a balanced diet can help prevent tooth mobility.
