GALVANOSIS AND ITS DIAGNOSTIC METHODS IN THE CLINIC ORTHOPEDIC DENTISTRY
In modern orthopedics, about 20 metals are used to make prostheses from various metal alloys. If there are prostheses made of different metals in the oral cavity, a pathological condition called galvanosis may be observed.. The occurrence of this phenomenon is caused by electrochemical effects from saliva. Each metal has its own potential value. If there are alloys of metals with different potentials in the oral cavity, then when they are closed, galvanic cells are formed, and the metal with a higher potential will dissolve.
