Correlation of tooth mobility and lower jaw bone height in elderly persons.

There has been increasing interest in the interrelationship between oral bone condition and tooth mobility in elderly population. Because the severity of alveolar bone loss increases with age, it has long been hypothesized that it may, in part, be related to local conditions, but in part also to systemic conditions. Tooth mobility is often a key factor in prosthodontic treatment plan.
