Brief Summary

In this trial, it is hypothesized that mobility values obtained from natural teeth using the Osstell device-adapted with a specifically designed attachment-will demonstrate a statistically significant correlation with those obtained through established methods such as the Periotest and the Miller index. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of the Osstell device for assessing the mobility of natural teeth having different mobility grades and to evaluate the correlation between its measurements and those derived from conventional clinical mobility assessment methods.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Miller measurement

  Tooth mobility was classified from 0 to 3 according to the Miller index.

  Baseline (first day)

• Periotest measurements

  Tooth mobility was measured using the Periotest device, with values ranging from -8 to +50.

  Baseline (first day)

• Osstell Measuements

  Tooth resonance frequency was assessed using the Osstell device, and the values were classified as less than 60, between 60 and 69, and greater than 69.

Study Arms (1)

Mobility group

OTHER

The participants' mobile teeth were assessed using three different tooth mobility measurement methods, and the agreement among these measurements was evaluated.

Device: Miller mobility measurement

Interventions

Miller mobility measurement DEVICE

Tooth mobility at different levels of mobility was assessed using Miller, Periotest and Osstell, and was evaluated both subjectively and objectively.

Also known as: Periotest, Osstell Beacon
