Abstract

A method to study the relationship between the mobility of human teeth and their supracrestal fiber support was developed. The results of this study would indicate that: (1) The supracrestal fibers do not contribute significantly to the support of a normal premolar tooth. (2) As a human premolar tooth develops moderate to severe loss of osseous support, the relative contribution of the supracrestal fibers to the support of the tooth increases significantly.
