Context: This study has been conducted to study the effect of wifi radiations on amalgam restorations. Aims: To evaluate the release of mercury from class V cavities in presence of Wi-Fi radiations. Methods and Material: 20 extracted human molars were taken and standard cavity of class V was prepared. The 20 sample teeth were then put in two different groups .10 teeth were put into a control group which was kept in an environment devoid of Wi-fi radiation. The remaining 10 teeth were kept in an environment with exposure of Wi-Fi radiation for time period of 25 mins at 2.4 GHz radiation. The mercury concentration found in the artificial saliva in both the groups was measured by using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry ICPOES. Statistical analysis used: Statistic evaluation was done using independent t test. Results: The mercury release found in artificial saliva which was in experimental group of WiFi exposure had mean concentration of 0.046mg/L, while for control group the mean concentration recorded was only 0.022 mg/L. statistically significant difference was recorded (P =0.009). Conclusions: With presence of wi-fi radiations all around us the effect of this artificial radiation on amalgam needs to be studied and analysed carefully considering the number of amalgam fillings in patients mouth.
