Electromagnetic interference of endodontic equipments with cardiovascular implantable electronic device
2016, Journal of DentistryCitation Excerpt :As far as we are concerned, there is no study assessing optical microscopes. The Nacplus® ultrasonic device tested is from the piezoelectric type, and it caused no EMI with any of the CIEDs tested, corroborating with other works with the same type of ultrasonic device [6–8,25]. However, the same result was not verified when a magnetostriction type ultrasonic device was evaluated [5,7].
Evaluating the Effects of Different Dental Devices on Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

2014, Journal of EndodonticsCitation Excerpt :They concluded that normal clinical use of dental electrical equipment does not have any significant effect on the ICDs tested. Two studies reported that electric pulp testers (EPTs) did not affect pacemaker function (9, 10). In contrast, Woolley et al (4) showed that electrical pulp testers were able to cause interference on pacemakers implanted in dogs.
Effects of piezoelectric units on pacemaker function: An in vitro study
2013, Journal of EndodonticsCitation Excerpt :When the piezoelectric or magnetostriction units covered all the scenarios and distances, none of them produced any EMI. The results of this study agree with the results obtained in vivo by Simon et al (17) and the in vitro results of Luker (18), both of which reported no interference from ultrasound. Nevertheless, the results of the present study contrast with the in vitro results of Miller et al (13) and Roeding et al (15) and the in vivo results of Griffiths (16).
