Abstract

Overview

Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Field (ELF MF) therapy is widely utilized in clinical settings for various medical issues, including injury, inflammation, and postoperative complications.

Findings

ELF MF improves bone unification, aids in pain reduction, reduces soft tissue oedema, and decreases electric potentials in the oral cavity.
It has significant effects on cellular and protein alteration upon exposure, including leukocytes, platelets, keratinocytes, osteoblasts, elastin, and collagen.

Study Objective & Methodology

The research aimed to appraise the influence of ELF MF on the parotid gland and its impact on salivary immunoglobulin A levels. The study involved 24 patients aged 14-16 and used radial immunodiffusion techniques for measurement. A control group of 25 persons was also evaluated for comparative analysis.

Conclusion

The application of Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Field leads to a significant enhancement in the immune response through increased secretory immunoglobulin A in the salivary gland of the study group, signifying potential health benefits and confirming its therapeutic efficacy.
