Abstract

While efforts are being made by science to discover all aspects ofthe effects of the magnetic field on man, data on the use of magnets in dental medicine are few. Thus, the aim of this study was to measure the magnetic field in dental laboratories, and at the same time to exclude the direct component of the Earth’s magnetic field. A specially constructed device was used for measurement, consisting of two amplifiers and a low frequency filter, by which the mean square of the value of the field was measured, depending on the position of the object in the area. The results of the study show that the magnetic field decreases with distance from the source of radiation, and that newer apparatus emits a weaker magnetic field than older apparatus.
