For the prevention of periodontal disease, it is necessary to determine which age group to work with. We examined 927 patients who visited our clinic and measured the mobility of teeth with dental tweezers. The distribution of mobile teeth was analysed by age.<BR>The results were as follows.<BR>1. The prevalence of mobile teeth increased around 25 and 45 years of age.<BR>2. An increase in the number of mobile teeth and a decrease in the number of non mobile teeth were observed between the ages of 30 and 45 years in 371 patients who had mobile teeth. Beyond 45 years of age, the ratio of the non mobile teeth showed no change, but the ratio of the mobile teeth decreased and the ratio of missing teeth increased with age.<BR>These results suggest that young group below the age of 30 should be a target for the prevention of periodontal disease.
