==Tooth Mobility==

The extent of tooth mobility should be assessed using a suitable instrument, e.g. the blunt end of the handle of a [[Dental Mirror|dental mirror]] or [[Periodontal Probe|probe]]. It should not be assessed using fingers directly, since the yield of the soft tissues of the fingers will mask the extent of tooth mobility. The grading of mobility:

The extent of tooth mobility should be assessed using a suitable instrument, e.g. the blunt end of the handle of a [[Dental Mirror|dental mirror]] or [[Periodontal Probe|probe]]. It should not be assessed using fingers directly, since the yield of the soft tissues of the fingers will mask the extent of tooth mobility. Tooth mobility is graded as follows:

<br>

<br>

:'''Grade 0''' - No mobility

:'''Grade 0''' - No mobility

:'''Grade 3''' - Vertical as well as horizontal movement
