The Effects of Extremly Low Frequency Magnetic Field and Mangan to the Oral Tissues

Exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELFMF) originating from daily electrical-electronic appliances and electric lines, is a common thing. Recently, the discussions focused on the topic whether ELFMF had any harmful effects over health or not. Several previous studies displayed that ELFMF significantly increased bone mineral density. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of ELFMF and manganese over mineral accumulation in head and jaw bones of rats. Previous studies showed that manganese plays a significant role over normal development of enamel and dentin alongside contributing to the calcium and phosphorus association. In the present study, the effects of exposure to ELFMF and manganese on mineral density and histology of teeth, were investigated. In the present study, 64 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 8 groups. Amount of mineral elevations were determined in head and jaw bones of the first 6 groups (p
