“…Changes in calcium ion efflux, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and calcium‐dependent protein kinase activity were reported (Paulraj & Behari, ). Studies also report histopathological changes in parotid gland of rats when exposed to 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation (Aydogan et al, ). Similarly, chronic exposure of chick embryo liver to 3G mobile phone radiation leads to various structural changes and DNA damage (D'Silva, Swer, Anbalagan, & Rajesh, ).…”

In recent years, there has been significant increase in mobile phone users. With this, health concerns associated with the exposure to electromagnetic radiation are also increasing. Continuous exposure to electromagnetic (EM) radiation generated from mobile phone is one of the probable reasons behind increasing male infertility. EM radiations induce oxidative stress that leads to numerous changes in reproductive parameters. With this hypothesis, we studied the effect of 3G mobile phone radiations on the reproductive system of male Wistar rats. Adult rats were divided into two groups: control and radio frequency‐exposed. The animals were exposed to 3G mobile phone radiation for 45 days (2 hr/day) in specially designed exposure setup under standard conditions. Various biochemical and physiological parameters such as sperm count, sperm morphology, mitochondrial activity, lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species level and histopathological analysis were studied. Histopathological examination revealed a reduction in spermatogenic cells and alterations in sperm membrane. Significant increase in ROS and lipid peroxidation level with simultaneously decrease in sperm count, alterations in sperm tail morphology were observed in the exposed group. In conclusion, exposure to mobile phone radiations induces oxidative stress in male Wistar rats which may lead to alteration in sperm parameters and affects their fertility.

“…Today, there has been growing concern about the possible adverse health effects due to exposure to radiofrequency radiations from mobile phones. In an animal studies by Aydogan F et al, and Ghoneim FM and Arafat EA et al, there were numerous histopathological changes observed in parotid gland of rats, in both short and relatively long term exposure to radiofrequency radiation [28,29]. Human studies done by Duan Y et al, Lonn S et al, Hardell L et al, and Söderqvist F et al, did not support the hypothesis that there was an increased risk of parotid gland tumours due to mobile phone use [33][34][35]38].…”

Introduction: The widespread use of cell phone in recent years has raised many questions whether their use is safe to operator who is exposed to Electromagnetic Waves (EMV). Aim:To find out the effect of cell phone emitted radiations on the orofacial structures. Materials and Methods:To identify suitable literature, an electronic search was performed using Medline, Pubmed and EBSCO host database in December 2016. The search was focused on effect of cell phone on orofacial structures. Among the literature available in English, the screening of the related titles and abstracts was done, and only those articles were selected for full text reading that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Results:The initial literature search resulted in 360 articles out of which only 24 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in this systematic review.

“…[31] However, 3G mobile phone radiation at 2100 MHz was found to induce many histopathological changes in parotid gland of rats, but no nuclear changes were observed. [32] There are no previously published studies in the literature on the effects of a 2100 MHz EMF on fracture healing in the maxillofacial region. In this respect, this study evaluated the effects of EMF at 2100 MHz on bone fracture healing.…”

Fractures in the maxillofacial region are among the most frequent incidences in patients exposed to trauma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 2100 MHz electromagnetic radiation on the healing of mandibular fractures in rabbits. The study was carried out on 12 mature male New Zealand rabbits. After producing a left mandibular osteotomy, the fracture was repaired by using a plate screw. The rabbits were divided into two groups À control and experimental. The experimental group was exposed for 3 h daily to a 2100 MHz radiofrequency (RF) for 28 d. Biomechanical, histopathological and radiological tests were performed during the healing of the mandibular bone. According to the biomechanical tests, the energy absorption capacity, toughness and maximum strength of the mandibular bone were increased compared to the control group (6.84 vs. 2.57, 0.135 vs. 0.041 and 22.21 vs. 10.32, respectively). No significant differences between the two groups were found during the radiological assessment. However, the histopathological examination revealed that the fracture healing score was higher in the experimental group when compared to the control group (8.0 vs. 2.75, respectively). In conclusion, the results of this study showed that a 2100 MHz RF radiation positively affected fracture healing.
