- Abstract
The periodontal condition was investigated by means of tooth natural frequency assessment. The correlation between tooth natural frequency and mobility was found out. The comparative estimation of percussion and spectral methods for natural frequency assessment revealed the percussion method to be more complicates because the initial acoustic signal is disturbed by external noises and hammer sound. The spectral method allows receiving reliable and reproducible results when using modified two-parametrical periodontometer.
