Özet
Number of various sources of wireless communication is had been incredibly increased in the recent decade. One of the most popular wireless communication equipment is mobile phones. However, another widespread part of wireless communications is Wi-Fis. As it is known, smart phones has many function such as speaking, Wi-Fi, bluetooth etc. Therefore, their radiofrequency radiation (RFR) level is higher than the first generation mobile phones. It means that smart phones emit higher RFR. The results of studies performed on the effects of RFR on animal or human indicated that mobile phones are not innocent. Because of that RFRs classified as 2B (Possible carcinogen) by World Health Organization in 2011. Most of the studies usually performed on RFR and health focused on the brain tumors and other diseases. No one pay attention to the potential health effects of this electromagnetic pollutant on oral tissues and teeth, which are one of the most RFR exposed parts of heads at the beginning. Although limited number of the studies had been done on oral tissues, the results of the studies are worth considering. Therefore, the aim of this review is to summarize the results of the limited studies here. In conclusion, the results of the studies investigated the effects of RF exposure on oral tissues and teeth indicated that uncontrolled exposures may have potential to cause some dental health problems. Finally, further studies including human studies are necessary to illuminate this topic.
