Abstract: Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is energy in waves emitted from a source. This energy is both electric and magnetic. Electromagnetic radiation from a source penetrates the surrounding area, creating an electromagnetic field (EMF). It affects the behavior of objects in the vicinity of the field. This includes the amalgam fillings in particular and other metal restorations and components of prosthesis and appliances and the dental implants. Even humans beings are store house of different bio-electrical fields. The muscles and hence the body move and different organs like heart function due to the bio electric stimulus. These bio-electrical mechanism which smoothly maintain our lives can be altered through external interfering EMR. This often results in varying types of stress one suffers. This article is about a true health incidence that happened to an acquaintance of mine and I think all practicing dentists should be aware of such conditions in the current Hi-Tech world. I assure that this article is worthy of your time and it is sure to kindle your brains.
