Electrodermal Screening & EAV
A bioenergetic diagnostic method developed by Dr. Reinhold Voll that measures electrical conductivity at acupuncture points to assess the health of teeth, organs, and body systems along energy meridians.

Where Energy Meets Biology
Developed by German physician Dr. Reinhold Voll in the mid-20th century, Electroacupuncture According to Voll (EAV) bridges traditional Chinese medicine's meridian system with modern electrical measurement technology. For over 40 years, it has been studied as a diagnostic complement in biological dentistry.
The method recognizes that each tooth sits on a specific meridian, an energy pathway connecting it to distant organs and tissues. A disturbance in a tooth can manifest as dysfunction in its corresponding organ system, and vice versa. EAV provides a way to detect these relationships before they appear on conventional diagnostic imaging.
In biological dentistry, EAV is most commonly used to determine which dental materials are least reactive for each individual, especially important for patients with chemical sensitivities and allergies.
Core Principles of EAV
Electrical Measurement
EAV measures the electrical conductivity at specific acupuncture points on the skin, each corresponding to a particular organ, tooth, or body system via traditional Chinese meridian pathways.
Tooth-Organ Meridians
Each tooth sits on a specific meridian connecting it to distant organs. A disturbance in a tooth can manifest as dysfunction in its corresponding organ system, and vice versa.
Bioenergetic Assessment
Rather than diagnosing disease, EAV assesses the body's energetic balance, identifying areas of stress, inflammation, or dysfunction before they manifest as clinical symptoms.
Methods of Compatibility Testing
Biological dentists use these three approaches to determine which materials are safest for each individual patient.
Meridian Stress Assessment (EAV)
Electro-dermal screening that measures skin conductivity at acupuncture points to identify stress along specific meridians, revealing which teeth or organs need attention.
Serum Compatibility Testing
Blood serum is tested against dental materials to determine which substances are least reactive for each individual, critical for patients with chemical sensitivities and allergies.
Applied Kinesiology
Muscle response testing that evaluates how the body responds to specific substances, a non-invasive way to identify sensitivities and compatible materials.

Tooth-Organs Meridian Chart
Each tooth connects to specific organs through energy meridians, the foundation of bioenergetic dental assessment.
Discover Your Body's Energetic Blueprint
A biological dentist trained in EAV can assess your meridian health and identify which dental materials and treatments your body will best tolerate.
