[Studies with the HSE-digital periodontometer on tooth mobility and for checking of clinical degrees of mobility].
The mobility of normal teeth and teeth with periodontal lesions could be measured by means of the newly constructed HSE-digital-periodontometer and specially developed measuring head. After obtaining norm values, measurements of pethological changes allowed us to determine to what degree the clinically increased mobility of teeth was subject to subjective influences (range of error 36.5 to 70.5%). These results suggest that the scale of clinical grades of tooth mobility be increased to 5 altogether and that practical objective measuring apparatus be developed especially for dental practice.
