The Application of Acupuncture to Treatment The Damage by Oral Implantation and Oral Surgical Operation

Abstract

In the dental clinic especially oral implantation or oral surgical operation, we are forced to or accidentally damage somewhere about Mandibular canal (Inferior alveolar nerve), Mandibular foramen, Mental foramen, Infraorbital foramen, Maxillary tuberosity,Greater palatine foramen and Incisive foramen. The sensory disturbances are occured by the damage of these nerves. The drug therapy which accelerate the resuscitation of nerve take the chief part in treating for those sensory damages. There is no therapy which has an rapid effect. We have to be looking to natural cure for sensory damages, but it take many time.
In my study, I made a comparison between drug therapy and acupuncture for sensory damage. The latter wes particularly better than the former for the rate of sensory damage recovery and healing the pain. Then I think, the application of acupuncture will be valuable therapy to treat the damage by oral implantation and oral surgical operation.
