Abstract / Excerpt:

Although the paper authored by Daokar et al. addresses a challenging issue, it has some shortcomings. One of the shortcomings of this study comes from this point that the authors have ignored substantial evidence which indicates the role of exposure to electromagnetic fields (e.g. mobile phones, Wi-Fi and cordless phones) on oxidative stress induction [20-23]. It should be noted that in modern life, due to rapid advances in telecommunication technology, we are all surrounded by electromagnetic fields produced by a variety of sources. Daokar et al. in their study collected saliva samples before restoration and 24 h, 7 days, and 14 days after restoration. Therefore, alterations observed in salivary oxidative stress (MDA levels) could be simply due to frequent use of mobile phones or cordless phones.
