The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between tooth mobility and radiographic alveolar bone loss in Ramfjord teeth of chronic periodontitis patients. The results of Ramfjord teeth procedure supported conserving time, limiting cost, and reducing patient and examiner fatigue while providing maximal clinical information. Clinical attachment level, periodontal disease index, tooth mobility and radiographic alveolar bone loss were measured in Ramfjord teeth
and/ or substitutable teeth with chronic periodontitis of both genders of subjects (age of 35-59 years). A total of 65
subjects (34 males and 31 females) were selected and descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. Correlation
between Periotest Value score (PTV) and alveolar bone loss was higher in central incisors (in mandibular central
incisors, r=0.526 and p<0.001) and (in maxillary central incisors, r=0.455 and p<0.001) than premolars and molars. It
was the highest correlation in mandibular central incisors. This explained the fact that the alveolar bone and connective tissue attachment play an important role in maintaining tooth equilibrium. It can also be useful in predicting the amount of bone loss for the determination of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment outcomes of the periodontal diseases by using
Periotest instead of taking radiographs that is limited in some patients and used as an adjunct in diagnosing periodontal
diseases.
