Abstract
This study aims to demonstrate that harmful stimulation of the buccal mucosa because of a rough tooth surface may cause lumbago. 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.
Highlights
Studies have shown that the oral conditions, especially occlusion, are closely associated with other parts of the body, e.g. body posture, temporomandibular disorder, cervicobrachial issues [1]-[4]
This study presents two subjects with lumbago, caused as a result of harmful dental stimulation of the oral mucous membrane, whose symptoms are cured by altering the buccal surface of a tooth
Two subjects with lumbago were treated by correcting the buccal surface of the molar
Summary
Studies have shown that the oral conditions, especially occlusion, are closely associated with other parts of the body, e.g. body posture, temporomandibular disorder, cervicobrachial issues [1]-[4]. The author has reported the relationship between electromagnetic waves and systemic conditions affecting the body [5]-[11]. To the author’s knowledge, the relationship between tooth form and systemic disorders has not been. How to cite this paper: Fujii, Y.
