Data Collected on Resonance with the Bi-Digital O-ring Test Due to Viruses,Bacteria,Heavy Metals,and Others in Intractable Oral Diseases Treated at Our Institute until April 2000 and Recent Interesting Cases (I)

Abstract

Introduction

We have applied the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test (OMURA, Y., 1977-2000; to be called BDORT in the rest of the this abstract) to dental practice for 20 years and observed its usefulness, and we have reported our findings on this test at every meeting of this society. At the present meeting, we will present the data collected until April 2000 with regarded to intractable diseases, such as those of undetermined origin, but not the cases observed in routine practice, such as drug compatibility test, optimal dose test, and occlusion diagnosis.

Results of Data Collection

Data collected on resonance with the BDORT due to viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, and others by intractable diseases treated at our institute (As of April 2000)

	Total number of cases examined	Viruses	Molds	Heavy metals	Bacteria	Others	Multiple resonance
Arthrosis of temporomandibular joint	31	19	2	3	1	0	2
Trigeminal neuralgia	8	3	1	2	1	0	2
Facial spasm	2	0	0	1	0	0	0

Glossalgia	11	1	0	3	0	0	1
Feel of paralysis of tongue/lips	6	2	0	1	1	0	1
Chronic pain in the throat, face, and head-shoulder region	30	15	0	14	0	0	3
Diseases/disorders, other than those in the dental field	134	52	8	35	10	1	26
Total	278	112	11	68	18	1	43

Conclusion

As shown in the above table, it was re-confirmed from the data collected at our institute that infections with viruses, fungi, and bacteria and accumulation of heavy metals can be estimated with the BDORT in many intractable cases whose causes cannot be precisely identified by means of Western medicine although we encounter such cases in routine dental practice not infrequently.
