Method for Measuring Dental Mobility and Displacement Force

The examiner, holding the instruments (two clinical mirror handles), will apply labial/lingual or labial/palatal displacement movements using the subjective technique, just as routinely done. Using the endodontic spacer and the stop, the deflection will be measured in millimeters. Subsequently, the examiner, with the instruments in hand (tensiometer and dynamometer), will apply labial/lingual and labial/palatal displacement movements, determining the force required to achieve the same displacement previously established by the subjective method (reference/limit of displacement).
