  • Title: Clinical study of patients referred for investigation regarding so-called oral galvanism.
    Author: Johansson B, Stenman E, Bergman M.
    Journal: Scand J Dent Res; 1984 Oct; 92(5):469-75. PubMed ID: 6593811.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-four patients referred to the Faculty of Odontology, University of Umeå, for investigation regarding "oral galvanism" were subjected to a general oral investigation. In addition the following parameters were studied: the highest calculated current between two metallic restorations in contact and the electrogustometrically determined threshold value for each person. No differences were found regarding these two parameters between the patients and a control group consisting of 15 persons. However, the general oral investigation had revealed that a relatively large number of patients had periodontal conditions which, together with mucous membrane affections and hypersensitivity reactions could explain some of the unpleasant sensations which bothered them. Furthermore, the results of a stomatognathic investigation which will be presented separately revealed that about three fourths of the patients needed treatment for their stomatognathic and/or temporomandibular joint conditions.
