Influence of galvanic phenomena on the occurrence of algic symptoms in the mouth.
The presence of more than one dental alloy in the oral cavity often causes pathological galvanic currents and voltage. Due to various and multi-faceted symptomathology, they tend to be a source of significant problems not only for the patient but also for the attending dentist. Very discreet and uncharacteristically objective diagnosis during a regular examination frequently causes this state to be ascribed to a completely different illness.
