Tooth mobility can be assessed by both subjective and objective means. The use of subjective measures may lead to bias and hence it becomes imperative to use objective means to assess tooth mobility. It has also been observed that hormonal fluctuations may have significantly influence tooth mobility.
The study was undertaken to assess the reproducibility of periotest in the assessment of tooth mobility and, to unravel the obscurity associated with the hormonal influence on tooth mobility.
100 subjects were included in the study and were divided equally into two groups based on their age, group I (11-14 years) and group II(16-22 years).
There was no statistical significant difference between the periotest values (PTV) taken at two different time periods with a time difference of 20 minutes. PTV of group I was found to have a statistical significant greater PTV than group II.
Periotest can reliably measure tooth mobility. Tooth mobility is greater during puberty as compared to adolescence and during adolescence mobility was slightly greater in males.
牙齿松动度可通过主观和客观方法进行评估。使用主观测量方法可能会导致偏差,因此使用客观方法评估牙齿松动度变得势在必行。还观察到激素波动可能对牙齿松动度有显著影响。
本研究旨在评估牙周探测仪在评估牙齿松动度方面的可重复性,并揭示与激素对牙齿松动度影响相关的模糊之处。
100名受试者纳入本研究,根据年龄平均分为两组,第一组(11 - 14岁)和第二组(16 - 22岁)。
在两个不同时间段(时间间隔20分钟)所测的牙周探测仪值(PTV)之间无统计学显著差异。发现第一组的PTV在统计学上显著高于第二组。
牙周探测仪能够可靠地测量牙齿松动度。与青春期相比,青春期期间牙齿松动度更大,且在青春期男性的牙齿松动度略大于女性。
