Summary

This clinical study aims to investigate changes in tooth mobility after non-surgical periodontal treatment in anterior teeth with mobility. Twenty patients from the Piracicaba Dental School - Unicamp, diagnosed with stage III or IV periodontitis and grade 2 or 3 tooth mobility, will be selected. Mobility will be assessed using an innovative method involving a customized plate and a tensiometer adapted to apply controlled force.

Initially, participants will undergo a detailed clinical examination, including periodontal evaluation, occlusal analysis, and gingival crevicular fluid collection. After periodontal treatment, which will involve scaling and root planing, mobility will be reassessed after 60 days. Then, a temporary fiber-reinforced resin splint will be applied to the affected teeth and maintained for another 60 days. At the end of the period, the splint will be removed, and new assessments will be conducted.

The study will also analyze the impact of treatment on patients' quality of life (OHIP-14) and the levels of bone and inflammatory markers (OPG, RANK/RANKL, IL-1β, and TNF-α). The findings are expected to provide a better understanding of the response of mobile teeth to periodontal treatment and the role of splinting in stabilizing periodontal tissues.
