The clinical measurement of horizontal tooth mobility is discussed on the background of the current theories regarding the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. The common indices which have been designed to measure horizontal tooth mobility are discussed and critiqued. These indices are not sensitive in that they do not discriminate well between small increments in mobility. In addition, many of the indices cannot be utilized for individual teeth on a longitudinally reproducible basis. The preliminary testing of an in vitro model with mobile teeth which was designed to aid the clinician in assessing tooth mobility is described. Results indicate that the clinician may be capable of discriminating between mobilities that are in the 0.1 mm range, with the aid of the model.
在牙周病发病机制的当前理论背景下，讨论了水平向牙齿松动度的临床测量。对已设计用于测量水平向牙齿松动度的常见指数进行了讨论和批判。这些指数不敏感，因为它们不能很好地区分松动度的微小增加。此外，许多指数不能在纵向可重复的基础上用于个别牙齿。描述了一种旨在帮助临床医生评估牙齿松动度的带有活动牙齿的体外模型的初步测试。结果表明，借助该模型，临床医生可能能够区分0.1毫米范围内的松动度。
