Abstract
Introduction. Stability in implantology and periodontology can be assessed by both subjective and objective means. As the use of subjective measures can be biased, objective means such as the periotest and Ostell have been developed. However, its application in normal clinical therapy is ineffectual due to the absence of dental reference values. The objective of this study was to provide stability values for natural permanent teeth that could serve as benchmarks in periodontics and implantology. Methodology. We conducted a cross-sectional study at the Implant and Periodontology Laboratory, FMSB/UY1from December 2021 to May 2022. All students who gave informed consent and had no pathology, history of trauma or dental treatment were included. Three stability measurements were performed at 20 min intervals using a Periotest. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results. We recruited 120 patients and assessed 3204 teeth. The age group 18-20 years was the most represented. The periotest values of canines, premolars and molars were significantly higher in women (p<0.001). Also, the stability of maxillary teeth was significantly higher than that of the mandible (p<0.001). The most stable tooth was the canine (-2.47), followed by the molars (-1.84), premolars (-1.10) and incisors (2.42). With regard to the reproducibility of the periotest, no significant differences were observed between the 3 stability measurements performed. Conclusion. The stability values of all teeth were within the range of physiological values defined in the literature. The periotest is a reliable and reproducible test.
