Study Notes
Tooth Mobility Classification
- Class I: Tooth movement is limited to less than 1mm in the buccolingual or mesiodistal direction.
- Class II: Tooth movement is 1mm or more in the buccolingual or mesiodistal direction; no vertical mobility observed.
- Class III: Tooth can be moved 1mm or more in both buccolingual or mesiodistal directions, with additional vertical mobility present.
Furcation Grades
- Grade I: Probe enters the concavity of the furcation; bone between the roots remains intact, indicating early furcation involvement.
- Grade II: Probe can access the furcation area, indicating more significant involvement without complete penetration through the roots.
- Grade III: Probe can be passed completely between the roots through the entire furcation, signifying advanced furcation involvement.
- Grade IV: Similar to Grade III but includes exposure due to gum recession, typically following periodontal therapy.
