Abstract

Abstract Summary

Overview

The study focuses on the significant biological impacts of low intensity electromagnetic effects, including reduced adaptivity of the body, weakened immunity, and negative influences on organs and systemic functions.

Objective

The primary aim was to explore the morphological consequences of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation on dental and periodontal tissues.

Patients and Methods

  • The experiment involved WAG rats divided into two groups: a control group with no manipulations and an investigation group exposed daily to a 70 kHz alternating electric field.
  • Methods included histological analyses and morphometric studies of the upper jaw tissue.

Findings

A detailed morphological evaluation revealed the damaging effect of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation on the structural components of dental and periodontal tissues, implicating potential health risks.

Conclusion

Exposure to such radiation for occupational reasons places individuals at increased risk for diseases affecting the dentomandibular system, highlighting the necessity for targeted therapeutic and preventive measures.
