Abstrakt		Background. Inside the oral cavity the electric voltage occurs among different metals. Therefore the electric current occurs between two metals. The voltage and the current both have bactericidal effects. We are interested in electric voltages and currents, which very likely occur between amalgam fillings and surgical steel of which the majority of tongue jewellery used for piercing, are made. Aim. Our goal was to establish the influence of the metal tongue jewellery on the oral cavity environment. Our intention is to study the influence on oral florae. Hypothesis The working hypothesis was that the subjects with tongue jewellery have less cariogenic bacteria than those without jewellery, which is due to the bactericidal effect of electric voltage and the current. Methods. Electric potentials, voltages and currents among surgical steel and amalgam we measured in vitro. In a test group (subjects with tongue piercing, N=17) electric voltages and currents between the tongue jewellery (in our case surgical steel) and amalgam were measured in vivo. In the test group (subjects with tongue piercing, N=17) and in the control group (subjects without tongue piercing, N=8) the presence of cariogenic bacteria in the sputum was measured. The sputum of subjects of both groups was checked for cariogenic bacteria (Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli). The subjects of both groups had been clinically checked. The data was analysed with the SPPS 10.0 statistical software package. Results. The voltages between the amalgam and tongue jewellery measured an vitro decrease in time. The average value after an hour equals -161,60±115,67 mV. The currents decrease in time too, their average value after 10 min. equals -0,43±0,51 micro A. In vivo average voltage between amalgam and tongue jewellery is -37,51±66,05 mV. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters).
