After a series of treatments with the JPS system, oral cavity electropotentials decreased and saliva pH increased. Copper content in non-stimulated saliva decreased, while no changes were observed for the remaining measured elements before vs after treatment.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Introducing new methods of treatment in dentistry cause various alloys to appear in oral cavities. These alloys present in the oral cavity may generate an electrolytic cell, while saliva serves as a fine electrolytic conductor. Hence, the electropotentials that occur may initiate different illnesses. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was conducted among 25 patients. All of them have undergone treatment with the Viofor JPS system. The electropotentials in the oral cavity have been checked, as saliva's pH and selected levels of chemical elements have been estimated. RESULTS: After having applied a series of treatments with the JPS system it was found that the electropotentials decreased, pH level of saliva increased, the content of copper in the non stimulated saliva fell, no alterations in the remaining elements before and after the treatments were observed.
