Abstract		PROBLEM: An alteration of the tooth mobility can represent a transient or a parmanent change in the periodontal tissues, An increased tooth mobility may be associated with different physiologic and pathologic phenomena. Various tooth mobility assessing methods discribe different biophysical characheristics of periodontium. Quantitavtive desription of periodontal tissue changes is supported by tooth mobifity meassurements and enables better diagnostics, control of treatment and more exact prognosses. PURPOSE OF RESEARCH: The aim of this research was to compare fhree methods of tooth mobility measurement. We were aiso interested in influence of hygienic phase of periodontal treatment on tooth mobility and dependance of the three methods on clinical parameters. STATISTICAL MATERIAL AND METHODS: 6 patients with gingivitis and 6 patients with periodontitis participated in the study. Among them there were 8 female and 4 male participants. We used split mouth method - in every single mouth we had 2 groups of experimental units. Test group comprised of 151 teeth was treated with chlorhexidine mouth rinse and with supragingival scaling. Control group comprised of 143 teeth was treated exclusively with chlorhexidine mouth rinse. In both groups tooth mobility measurements with three different methods were performd and 7 clinica! parameters were observed. RESULTS: According to baseline statistically significant differences for gingival index, plaque index, probing depth, width of keratinized gingiva and gingivai fluid flow rate were found. Differences between the two groups were significant exclusevely for gingival index, probing depth and attachement level. According to baseline among the fhree mefhods differences of tooth mobility were statistically significanf for automated system. Differences between the two groups were statistically significant for Periotest measurements. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters).
