As these metallic elements are immersed in an electrolytic medium, galvanic currents are produced between them or with other metals present in the mouth. These bimetallic currents have three potentially harmful effects on the patient: micro-discharges, corrosion, and finally, the dispersion of metal ions or their oxides, all of which have been extensively demonstrated in vitro. In this original work, a system for measuring the potentials generated in vivo is developed. Specifically, it is an electrogalvanic measurements system coupled with a periodontal probe that allows measurement of the potentials in the peri-implant sulcus. This device was tested and verified in vitro to guarantee its applicability in vivo. As a conclusion, this system is able to detect galvanic currents in vitro and it can be considered capable of being employed in vivo, so to assess the effects they may cause on dental implants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15155100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,25]],"date-time":"2022-07-25T01:42:13Z","timestamp":1658713333000},"page":"5100","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Electrical Potentiometry with Intraoral Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Alfonso","family":"Jornet-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Medicine and Dentistry Faculty, Murcia University, 30008 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1045-5119","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arturo","family":"Sanchez-Perez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Medicine and Dentistry Faculty, Murcia University, 30008 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda","family":"Montoya-Carralero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Medicine and Dentistry Faculty, Murcia University, 30008 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9","family":"Moya-Villaescusa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Medicine and Dentistry Faculty, Murcia University, 30008 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Gillispie, C.
