Abstract
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of Korean medical treatments on chronic glossitis using Yanggyeok-sangagam based on tutakbeop(透托法), and Ikgibohyeol-tanggagam based on botakbeop(補托法) and bobeop(補法). Methods : We treated a 83-year-old female patient who had glossitis by Korean medicine and acupuncture treatment. These treatments were performed from 2020.8.4. to 2021.3.4. We have confirmed the improvement of white plaque like a pseudomembranous pattern lesion and pain. We recorded images that include change of symptoms. Results : After the treatments were done, the scores of numeric rating scale(NRS), oral assessment guide(OAG) and oral health impact profile-14(OHIP-14) were decreased. The NRS score was decreased from 7 to 1. The OAG score was decreased from 20 to 9. The OHIP-14 score was decreased from 34 to 5. Conclusions : According to the result, Korean medical treatments such as Korean medicine and acupuncture treatment, followed by the cure rules- tutakbeop(透托法), botakbeop(補托法) and bobeop(補法) can be effective for the treatment of chronic glossitis.
