Description
Tooth mobility refers to the horizontal or vertical movement of a tooth beyond its normal physiological boundaries, and is commonly a concern for many dental patients. This book explores both physiological and pathological tooth mobility, providing a comprehensive overview of how and why teeth become mobile. It covers the natural movements of teeth in healthy individuals, including variations during the day, as well as the stages of mobility caused by forces on the tooth. The text also delves into pathological mobility, exploring causes such as bone loss, occlusal trauma, inflammation, pregnancy, and other systemic conditions. A valuable resource for dental professionals, this book explains the underlying mechanisms, diagnostic methods, and clinical significance of tooth mobility in both healthy and diseased states.
