[Principles of galvanic currents determination in oral cavity and their clinical background]
Abstract:
The most important reasons for metal intolerance used for teeth treatment and dental prosthetics are allergic intolerance for the given metals and galvanic currents appearance in the oral cavity. Although they often have similar symptoms their differential diagnostics is very important for determination of correct tactics of treatment and further patient's course. The method of galvanic currents measurement in oral cavity was invented. Basing on data of clinical and laboratory examination of considerable group of human beings the principles of exact determination of galvanic currents in oral cavity including algorithm of determination of the received data clinical significance.

Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
