Effect of Mobile Phone Radiations on Oral Health

چکیده
The effects on health by mobile radiations have been subject of debate for a long time. Mobile phones emit electromagnetic radiations in the microwave range (300 MHz [0.3 GHz] and 300 GHz). According to International Agency for Research on Cancer, the mobile radiations are classified as Group-2B possibly carcinogenic radiations i.e. there “could be some risk” of carcinogenicity.1 At the same time, WHO has stated that “to date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use.”2
