“…The rather crude method of measuring the mobility of the Test Teeth in this study did not reveal changes in the short period of 28 d. But the jiggling in conjunction with movements of the jaw was reduced or eliminated from the Test Tooth by occlusal adjustment. It has been suggested that the jiggling of the traumatized tooth enhances the inflammatory reaction in the periodontium by a "pumping action" (27).…”

Three teeth from each of 14 adult patients with advanced periodontitis were included in this study. The Test Tooth was an incisor or canine with increased mobility associated with an occlusal interference and a ≥ 5 mm deep pathologic pocket. The Infected Control Tooth was a non‐mobile incisor or canine with a ≥ 5 mm pocket. A non‐mobile incisor or canine with pockets ≤3 mm served as the Healthy Control Tooth. At least 7 d prior to Day 0 the patients were taught an effective oral hygiene regimen and received a supragingival prophylaxis. At Day 0, sulcular fluid for assay of protein content and Collagenase activity was collected from each chosen pocket. Immediately thereafter the Test Teeth of 7 subjects were scaled and root planed and the Test Teeth of 7 subjects occlusally adjusted. At Day 14, the treatments were reversed for the two groups. Sulcular fluid for the assays was again collected at Days 14 and 28. The protein content and collagenase activity in deep pockets was elevated during periodontitis in both mobile and immobile teeth. After establishment of a supragingivally clean oral environment, a rapid decrease of the collagenase activity took place following scaling and root planing of the root surfaces within the periodontal pockets (p≤0.05). Also, occlusal adjustment of the hypermobile teeth with deep pathological pockets reduced the protein content and collagenase activity in sulcular fluid (p ≤ 0.02). There was a further reduction of collagenase activity when occlu‐sally adjusted teeth were scaled and root planed (p≤0.02). No change in the protein content or collagenase activity was observed in the deep pockets of the untreated Control Teeth in the same patients.

“…Similarly, there was no obvious difl'erence between mean scores for the subjects and for the test teeth, indicating that the choice of the lower left first molar was a representative one. The efl'ect of increased tooth mobility in the presence of occlusal traumatism has been demonstrated (Vollmer & Rateitschak, 1975). However, despite the presence of occlusal discrepancies, which in some cases were marked, in all the subjects, tooth mobility was negligible.…”

Mandibular flexure associated with muscle force applied in the retruded axis position

The object of this study was to measure any mandibular flexure occurring in the horizontal plane, when R.A.P. recordings were made with an 'anterior jig' (Lucia, 1964), chin-point guidance and patient-applied muscle force. The rationale for the experimental method was that any arch-width change noted at the tooth level reflected a flexure of the mandible. Ten subjects participated and the mean lateral flexure of the mandible in the horizontal plane was 0.073 +/- 0.028 mm. As a corollary to the study, mean medial flexure of the mandible in wide opening movements was found to be 0.093 +/- 0.044 mm, which was consistent with earlier workers' results. On the basis of the results obtained, restorations constructed to muscle-R.A.P. recordings could conceivably present as occlusal interferences and, indeed, articulators may require modification so as to allow for mandibular resilience.

“…These effects are reversible. Eliciting occlusally traumatogenic factors are eliminated by grinding and the resultant pathological mobility is decreased within 7 days (Renggli & Muhlemann 1970, Vollmer & Rateitschak 1975.…”

Forty abutment teeth with pathological mobility were splinted with telescoped removable bridges. During the first 4 weeks the bridges were fixed. From the beginning of the fifth week they were removed once a day. Mobility was measured prior to placing the bridges and at 4 and 10 weeks intervals. Average mobility of the abutment teeth and the control unsplinted teeth did not change significantly during the experimental period.
