Summary

This study tested if a device called Osstell, normally used for dental implants, can also measure how loose natural teeth are. Sixteen adults with different levels of tooth mobility took part. Researchers compared Osstell readings to two standard methods: the Miller index and the Periotest device. The goal was to see if Osstell could be a reliable alternative for checking tooth stability.
