[Acupuncture as a bioenergetic reequilibration means in the treatment of chronic mixed marginal parodontopathies]

Gafar M, Dumitriu H, MaliÅ£a C, Stanciu E.

The authors discuss the use of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic mixed marginal parodontopathies as an eventual means of bioenergetic reequilibration. The various studies carried out for some time by the Department of Odontology and Parodontology of the Bucharest Faculty of Stomatology have demonstrated the lateration of electrical bioresistance in certain acupuncture points in the cephalic extremity at the level of the gingival mucosa in pathologic parodontal states. This suggested the possible applicability in chronic mixed marginal parodontopathies of acupuncture instead of the known means of biostimulation.
