Top Scientist To Investigate Thermoelectric Behavior Of Metal Dental Fillings

Keith P Walsh · 2009-03-02T15:17:58+00:00

It looks as though the scientific community may soon be no longercompletely ignorant of the thermoelectric behavior of metallic dentalrestorations.At the recent XIII International Forum On Thermoelectricity held inKiev, Ukraine, from 10 to 13 February, Professor Lukian I. Anatychuk,one of the World's leading authorities on thermoelectrics, acceptedresponsibility for answering questions on the subject ofthermoelectric phenomena in metal dental fillings, and undertook torespond in due course to a number of specific questions on the subjectwhich were presented to the forum on Tuesday 12th February.The questions were posted via live Skype link-up to the forum, and theexchange of messages which lead to Professor Anatychuk's historicundertaking are recorded in Skype as follows:+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++hello! type your message here[12/02/2009 12:08:10] Keith P Walsh says: Are metallic dentalrestorations which consist of dissimilar metals in contact with eachother able to generate thermoelectric potentials?[12/02/2009 12:08:54] Keith P Walsh says: And are these potentialslarge enough to dissipate electrical energy through the nerves inpeople's heads.[12/02/2009 12:10:58] Keith P Walsh says: Remember that dentistssometimes screw a metal alloy retaining pin into the root socket of apatient's tooth and encase the head of the pin in metal amalgam.

The wire was in both glasses, both hot. What has it to do with your above claim?

If I had the time. Why don't you, with a chicken wing or a leaf and iron and copper wires? Maybe you can guess why Volta's experiment could work with iron and not copper.

its, shitwit And yes, it is wrong. The not goes in the predicate, not in the determiner.

It's not ta=FDtologhic at all as it's self-contradictory. It's equivalent with "If I don't say so myself."

Kids are not pedants--another one of your malapropisms--the paidoghogh is the pedant, which you'v been consistently here. My asides do not bear on my scientific reckennings; they aren't even in the same block of text. So you are deluded.

I don't see "chemical" in there.

What's your point here?

Do you suffer from chronic tinnitus yourself?

Are you trying to suggest that my hypothesis is as fanciful as yours?

It isn't.

The other difference is that there are scientific tests that could easily be implemented (although not by myself acting alone) which would offer some degree of evidence as to whether or not my hypothesis is correct, but which those who advocate the use of amalgams in dentistry (and who would be in a position to conduct such tests) have never bothered to carry out.

The tone of your message gives the impression that you are not a happy person.

Do you have any amalgam fillings in your teeth?

Did you ever have any amalgam fillings in your teeth?

Because if you did then the fact that you still suffer from tinnitus now doesn't prove that the condition wasn't caused by the dissipation of electrical energy from the fillings when they were in.

It appears that chronic tinnitus is the result of permanent damage to the nerves in the inner ear.

It would be unreasonable to expect that such damage might be repaired simply by the removal of fillings.

I am sorry to hear about your daughter.

However, the fact that there are other things in life which make people unhappy does not prove that having metal amalgam fillings in your teeth is not one of them.

Did you ever have any amalgam fillings in your teeth?
