“…The extension of periodontal disease cannot be correctly estimated without the evaluation of the mobility degree [64]. The used clinical method for determining the tooth mobility is based on individual's perception of tooth movement by application of a force on the tooth crown [65].…”

Background and objectives: Gum disease represents the condition due to the dental plaque and dental calculus deposition on the surfaces of the teeth, followed by ulterior destruction of the periodontal tissues through the host reaction to the pathogenic microorganisms. The aim of study was to present aspects regarding the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as an adjuvant therapy for the treatment of periodontal disease, started from the already certified benefits of HBOT in the general medicine specialties. Materials and methods: The participant patients in this study (71) required and benefited from specific periodontal disease treatments. All patients included in the trial benefited from the conventional therapy of full-mouth scaling and root planing (SRP) within 24 h. HBOT was performed on the patients of the first group (31), in 20 sessions, of one hour. The patients of the control group (40) did not benefit from HBO therapy. Results: At the end of study, the included patients in HBOT group presented significantly better values of oral health index (OHI-S), sulcus bleeding index (SBI), dental mobility (DM), and periodontal pocket depth (PD) than the patients of the control group. Conclusions: HBOT had beneficial effects on the oral and general health of all patients, because in addition to the positive results in periodontal therapy, some individual symptoms of the patients diminished or disappeared upon completion of this adjuvant therapy.

“…Early devices were purely mechanical, but the technology has been improved with the help of sophisticated sensors. For example, devices such as Picton's gauge, Korber's transducer and Kaneko's non‐invasive test, use electronic transducers to estimate the tooth mobility 42 . Drolshagen et al proposed a device to measure the biomechanical properties of the PDL using a piezoelectric actuator to administer a displacement to a tooth's crown, where an integrated force sensor quantifies the resultant force 43 .…”

“…We have seen many electronic devices that have been developed in this regard. However, these devices are subjective in approach and are not reliable until updated and tested routinely 42 . Seemingly, although promising, all these models do have limitations and require further improvements to be utilized effectively in clinical applications.…”

A natural human tooth consists of enamel, dentin, pulp and cementum, and its root structure is surrounded by the periodontal ligament (PDL) (Figure 1). The PDL is a soft, highly vascular and specialized connective tissue that surrounds the tooth root and attaches it to the alveolar bone. 1,2 The main components of the PDL are functionoriented elastic fibres, tissue-containing cells (eg, fibroblasts, osteoclasts, osteoblasts, cementoblasts, mastocytes and macrophages), blood and lymphatic vessels, and nerves that are connected to the tooth pulp, the tooth socket, and the gingiva. 3,4 It consists of 53%-74% collagen fibres, 1%-2% blood vessels and nerve endings, rooted

“…59 The clinical mobility of tooth is classified by numerous periodontal indices which have different criteria of assessment and classification. 60 One of the pathological causes of tooth mobility is periodontal disease. Periodontal disease causes the alveolar bone to resorb and minimizes the volume and quality of the supportive tissues of the tooth.61 Partial dentures are associated with increased tooth mobility of abutment teeth, which may be attributed to increase forces on abutments or dental plaque accumulation.…”

OBJECTIVE: To review the periodontal considerations associated with removable partial denture therapy. METHODOLOGY: Using a MEDLINE search, for "removable partial dentures periodontal", a total of 712 papers from peer-reviewed journals came in results. The MEDLINE search was made more specific by applying filters to the key phrase with other key words such as "periodontal evaluation"(140), "direct retainers"(77), "non-surgical periodontal"(8), "surgical periodontal"(180), "plaque"(249), "periodontal indices"(112), "tooth mobility,"(180) "periodontal maintenance,"(60) "splinting,"(198) and "split major connector"(2). Both in vivo and in vitro studies on the Perio-prosthodontic aspects of RPD treatment were included in the study pool whereas case Series and case reports were excluded. RESULT: A total of 1206 studies were collected from the search engine. After applying the exclusion criteria and filtering the duplicates a total of 95 studies were included for the narrative review. CONCLUSIONS: Out of all the factors, recall and oral and denture hygiene have the utmost importance. KEYWORDS: Perio-prosthodontics, removable partial denture, periodontal indices.
