Ten months of cell phone radiation exposure didn't weaken rat tooth enamel, but oral health effects remain understudied.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Turkish researchers exposed rats to cell phone radiation (900 MHz) for 2 hours daily over 10 months to see if it would weaken tooth enamel. They found no changes in the hardness of the rats' tooth enamel compared to unexposed control animals. This suggests that typical cell phone use may not directly damage the structural integrity of teeth.

Study Details

we aimed to investigate the effect of Radio Frequency (RF) radiation emitted from 900 MHz mobile phones on the enamel micro hardness of rat teeth.

The study was carried out on twenty one Wistar Albino adult male rats which were divided into two gr...

The results of this study showed that 900 MHz RF radiation did not alter the enamel micro hardness o...

Exposure of 900 MHz RF radiation for 2 hours per day during ten months does not alter enamel micro hardness of rats' teeth. However, further studies are necessary to clarify this topic.
