– An instrument for direct clinical measurement of currents between oral metallic restorations has been developed and tested on 175 contact pairs. The results are related to those obtained with an indirect method. The main advantage with the instrument is that it permits a continuous registration of the currents flowing between the metallic restorations. These currents decrease as a function of time.
