The physician-in-charge referred her for dental treatment because examination did not reveal any specific abnormality in her lower back. Prior to the treatment, the patient could barely bend forward and backward because of serious back pain. Her body flexibility and lower back pain improved when a gold alloy cast crown was placed near her feet. However, when the crown was covered with aluminum foil, it was again very difficult for her to bend her body forward and backward. These results suggested that her body reacted positively because good electromagnetic waves emitted by the crown were absorbed by the body. The alloy used to make the crown was chosen using the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test. Moreover, the shape, contact strength, and occlusion (biting condition) of the crown were also determined by the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test. After the crown was placed on her upper right first molar, her lumbago completely disappeared and did not recur for >5 years of follow-up. The effectiveness of electromagnetic waves on the condition of the body, as in this case, has not often been acknowledged in modern medicine, and the underlying mechanism remains unclear;therefore, further research is required.展开更多

This report illustrates two cases of women in their 30s and 40s who are suffering from lumbago due to unknown causes. The patients are cured by a simple dental procedure in which the buccal surface of a molar is smoothened, thereby inhibiting the negative stimulation of the buccal mucosa. Soon after this treatment, the symptoms of lumbago have subsided. The reason for the effectiveness of this treatment remains unclear. However, the balance dysregulation observed in the patient may have been due to stimulation of the oral mucous membrane by the rough surface of the tooth. It is important for dentists to pay attention to the effects of tooth formation, dental restorations, and dental prosthetics on the entire body. A dental condition may have an effect on diseases affecting other parts of the body;thus a dental treatment may be considered as an option for the management of other systemic disorders. It appears that cooperation between the fields of dentistry and medicine is of utmost importance.展开更多

Methods: Data was retrospectively analyzed from 52 patients with PD in our outpatient clinic for more than 1 year (mean age, 63 ± 4 years old;mean duration from onset, 6.3 ± 0.8 years). Patients’ characteristics, comorbid musculoskeletal disorders, serum bone metabolism biomarkers, and bone mineral density were examined. Results: Twenty-one PD patients (40.2%) had chronic lumbago. Severe comptocormia and scoliosis were the most common musculosketal disorders in this group (47.6%) affected by lumbago, followed by osteoporosis (14.3%), compression fracture (4.8%). There was no significant difference in the duration of PD, body mass index, frequency of falls, bone mineral density, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b, osteocalcin, and N-terminal telopeptide between PD patients with or without chronic lumbago. Multivaritae logistic regression analysis identified the independent predictors of chroni lumbago in PD patients as Hoen-Yahr stage (odds ration [OR] = 2.794, 95%CI 1.103 - 7.076), and elevated serum 1,25-OH<sub>2</sub> vitamin D level ([OR] = 0.92, 95%CI 0.86 - 98). Conclusion: Bone metabolism disorders are found to be associated with chronic lumbago in PD patients.展开更多
