Summary A group of 115 patients with orofacial complaints has been examined. A new method for intraoral measurement of electrode potentials on the surface of the amalgam fillings and prosthetic constructions has been developed and applied. The possible connections between the measured electrode potentials and patients' saliva properties and their complaints have been discussed. No correlations between measured electrode potentials of the metallic fillings and constructions and important saliva properties could be found. No connections between the measured electrode potentials and the patients' complaints could be proved.
