📋Overview
Oral galvanism is a legacy term referring to the generation of electric currents in the mouth due to the presence of dissimilar metals in dental restorations. The modern understanding frames this as electrochemical interactions between different metallic dental materials, which may cause oral discomfort or metallic taste but is not recognized as a distinct disease. It is sometimes discussed in the context of oral galvanic currents or oral electrogalvanism.
