Metallic taste has been reported from divers working with underwater electric welding and cutting. An in vitro model was designed to simulate the intraoral situation of the divers with respect to the magnetic field. Potentiostatic analyses were performed on amalgam samples exposed to AC and DC magnetic fields. Morphologic changes were analyzed using differential interference light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Chemical changes on the surface of the amalgam samples were analyzed with secondary ion mass spectrometry. Results demonstrated that dental amalgams exposed to a specific AC magnetic field underwent morphologic and chemical changes in the superficial amalgam layers.
据报道，从事水下电焊和切割工作的潜水员会有金属味觉。设计了一个体外模型来模拟潜水员口腔内的磁场情况。对暴露于交流和直流磁场的汞合金样本进行了恒电位分析。使用微分干涉光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜分析形态变化。用二次离子质谱分析法分析汞合金样本表面的化学变化。结果表明，暴露于特定交流磁场的牙科汞合金在表层汞合金中发生了形态和化学变化。
