The present study deals with a study of the tooth mobility, the pocket depth and the bone destruction in 616 periodontally healthy subjects. It was found that the mobility of the upper lateral incisor is inferior to that of the central one. Furthermore, relations of age to tooth mobility and bone destruction were established, whereas no relationship between age and pocket depth was evident.
