BACKGROUND Effects of electromagnetic fields on healing have been investigated for centuries. Substantial data indicate that exposure to electromagnetic field can lead to enhanced healing in both soft and hard tissues. Helmholtz coils are devices that generate pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF). Objective : In this work, a pair of Helmholtz coils for enhancing the healing process in periodont...

The prevalence of malocclusion and the need for orthodontic treatment in Indonesia is relatively very high. Orthodontic that transmits mechanical forces to periodontal ligament alveolar bone cells can stimulate remodeling. While this time, requires a long resulting several adverse effects discomfort. For reason, method accelerate needed which aims increase stability after active treatment, redu...

The current study tested the hypothesis that the use of pulsed electromagnetic fields after rotator cuff repair is effective in the short term as an adjuvant treatment to reduce local inflammation, postoperative joint swelling, and recovery time, as well as to induce pain relief. Sixty-six patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy for repair of small to medium rotator cuff tears were randomly...

Maxwell equations are the basis of the theory of electromagnetic fields. In the stationary case they split into independent problems for electric and magnetic fields. For the electric field in conductive media electrical conductivity problem is formulated, and in insulators the problem of electrostatics is formulated. Equations for stationary problems are of elliptic type, whereas in general th...

A number of electromagnetic field-based technologies are available for therapeutic medical applications. These therapies can be broken down into different categories based on technical parameters employed and type of clinical application. Pulsed radio frequency energy (PRFE) therapy is a non invasive, electromagnetic field-based therapeutic that is based on delivery of pulsed, shortwave radio f...

INTRODUCTION: Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) have proven to be effective in accelerating healing in delayed unions and in healing nonunions [1]. The effectiveness of a new PEMF signal which requires less power than the existing devices was demonstrated in animal models [2,3]. However, the optimal dose of the stimulation has yet to be determined. The purpose of this study was to investigat...
