Mobility Of Teeth / Loose Teeth

MOBILITY OF TEETH / LOOSE TEETH

Tooth mobility is the term used to describe loose teeth in the jaws or the alveolar bone.

Tooth mobility of about 0.25 mm is present normally in all the individuals and is considered healthy. This mobility is termed as physiologic mobility. The reason for this mobility is that the tooth is not fused to the alveolar bone directly, but is attached to the sockets by the periodontal ligament. This slight mobility is to bear masticatory forces on the teeth while chewing without harming them. Milk (primary) teeth also become mobile. This is a natural process of exfoliation. This is caused due to resorption of the roots, stimulated by the developing permanent tooth underneath.

Causes of Loose Teeth:

Trauma to the teeth caused by accidental injury.
Malocclusion : the trauma due to occlusion also results in tooth mobility. Conditions like deep bite or edge to edge relationship causes excess of chewing forces on the teeth.
Bruxism: is referred as the grinding habit of teeth either consciously or unconsciously.
Periodontitis: it is the gum disease
Gum recession
Gum abscess or periapical abscess
Cyst or tumour in the jaws.

Treatment for Loose Teeth:

The mobile tooth can be treated by treating the cause first.
Relieve the traumatic occlusion and correct the bite.
Treat the tumor or cyst
Treat the gum infection by proper cleaning and curettage
Correction of the reduced bone level by adding the bone grafts.
The grade 2 or grade 3 mobility can be corrected by splinting the loose tooth and restricting any movement.
If the prognosis is poor then the loose tooth has to be extracted and replaced by a dental prosthesis.
