Since then, this subject has been discussed by many authors.po’) They found that when different metallic restorations are placed in the patient’s mouth electric current generated in the saliva. The intensity of this current depends on the electric potential difference of the metallic restorations,( 7) the fiuid film thickness( 4) and the surface area of the resto rations. (‘ ) Soft tissue irritation, (9) pain in and around the teeth,(lO) corrosion and discoloration of the metallic resotration( 4, 1 1) were considered to be the sequel of galvanism.
