Abstract
Although the development of electronic technology, electronic devices, such as cell phones or personal computers (PCs) have spread worldwide in recent years; however, there have been several reports of physical abnormalities occurring because of electro-magnetic waves emitted by such electronic devices. In addition, the incidence of adverse biological effects due to electromagnetic waves may be increasing. Such unpleasant symptoms are termed as electromagnetic hypersensitivity. This condition includes many symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, tinnitus, dizziness, memory loss, irregular heartbeats, and dermatological symptoms, which are considered to be caused by electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Dental implants have spread worldwide in dentistry. The risks and complications reported are limited to local issues. However, sometimes, there are patients who complained of systemic symptoms after dental implantation. The aim of my presentation is to demonstrate that systemic symptoms such as lumbago, shoulder stiffness, neck pain, hip joint pain, and facial pain improved after the removal of well-osseointegrated titanium implants. The results suggest that harmful electromagnetic waves received by implants affect body conditions; however, to date, the underlying mechanisms have not been identified. Therefore, further research regarding the same is required.
