| Description: | One of the success criteria of periodontal therapy is long-term survival of the natural dentition. It is necessary to know if tooth mobility can be use as a prognostic indicator for more accurate treatment planning for the Malaysian population to ensure successful periodontal therapy and management of patients with periodontitis. The main objective of this study was to determine the survival rate of mobile periodontally involved teeth following periodontal therapy, the influence of tooth mobility severity on its survival and the effect of type of treatment provided on fate of periodontally involved mobile teeth. The sampling frame was patients with at least 30% of sites that had periodontal probing depth of at least 4 mm and at least one mobile tooth and must undergone five years of periodontal treatment from 2008 to 2014 by a periodontist at a public sector specialist unit. Six hundred and seventy-two periodontally involved mobile teeth in 100 patients with periodontitis at baseline were identified and their fate and degree of mobility were recorded throughout five years of observation. In the first year following therapy, 640(95.2%) mobile teeth remained intra orally and gradually decreased to 552(82.1%) teeth after five years. Hence, the survival rate for periodontally involved mobile teeth was 1.1. All grades of tooth mobility have shown improvement in the mobility status following periodontal therapy. Generally, teeth with non-surgical and surgical treatment showed better survival with 19(95.0%) teeth, while teeth treated with non-surgical with surgical and restorative treatment were all extracted. Grade I mobility were the most retained with 328(76.8.8%) teeth, followed by 115(62.8%) teeth in Grade II and Grade III with 16(25.8%) teeth. Periodontal therapy has shown to improve the survival of periodontally involved mobile teeth,Ijazah Sarjana Doktor Pergigian Klinikal (Periodontologi) |
