Blood-Letting Therapy is a rational and ecological medical treatment by which we can heal most of the diseases by removing the static blood which precipitates in the blood vessel and blocks the flowing of blood. And the static blood is the generic term for the injurious, bad, dead and precipitated blood which is blocked the capillary vessel. The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine says that "the patient is treated with drugs internally and stone acupuncture externally. "In the old texts, the blood-letting therapy is mentioned as blood-letting, network vessel pricking, bloodletting, pricking, and arousing pulses etc and it is noted down as the method of network vessel pricking in 'On the Application of Needles' of Spiritual Pivot. Nine-pricking therapy, twelve-pricking therapy and five-pricking therapy are recorded in the methods of network vessel pricking and among them, the method of squeezing blood after pricking the affected part is explained as the network vessel pricking. There are four methods of network vessel pricking, pricking, picking, cluster needling and scatter-pricking and they are fluidly applied to the various symptoms of diseases. In 'On Discriminative Treating for Patients of Different Regions' in Elementary Questions, Ki-baek emphasizes "most of the local people, there are black in skin and loose in striate, and their diseases are mostly of carbuncle kind. It is suitable to treat the disease with stone therapy to prick with stone, so the stone therapy is transmitted from the east. "And in 'On the Corresponding Relation Between the Eum and Yang of Man and All Things' in Elementary Questions, when the Emperor asked Ki-Back, he answered "sthenia means the sthenia of evil, and deficiency means the deficiency of healthy energy. When the blood is sthenic, the evil should be discharged by pricking when out letting the blood; deficiency of vital energy is the asthenia of channels and network vessels, so the energy should drain from the channel which is not deficient, to replenish. "And in this case we can use the methods of 'Breaking out the static bloods', 'driving out the static bloods', blood-letting'. With this we can infer that the blood-letting therapy is made use of the important medical treatments from the ancient times. Especially in referring to the principles of treatment in The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, it mostly alluded to acupuncture therapies and only eleven times to medicinal treatments. This is to verify that the blood-letting therapy formed the foundation of the medical art. In Dong's Therapy of Acupuncture-Moxibustion and Bloodletting, Dong Kyeong-Chang gave emphasis on the points that there must be extravasated bloods without exception in the serious illnesses which is old, unnatural, accompanying acute pains and so we can revive our body‘s sprit by circulating 'gi' and static blood piled up in the network vessel, regulating the weakness and strength, and controling the disharmony of the internal organs. The blood-letting therapy has effect on the orifice in emergency, such as fore draining, freeing network vessels, harmonizing gi and blood, relieving pain, dispersing swelling and concretion, sedation, resolving toxin as well as strengthening the heart, relieving itching. So it has distinguished effect on all kinds of medical treatment to the modern people. But by the change of social customs and the confucianism of confucius - it is widely spread on the period of North and South Dynasties, 'Wi' and 'Jin' in china and the period of the Three States in korea - The blood-letting therapy which was regarded as the most important medicinal treatment withered rapidly. And Confucius accentuated the importance of our body and all its members, loyalty and filial piety and banned any damage of our body under no circumstances. As a result of it, the therapy of blood-letting had a rapid decrease and barely kept itself in existence in both countries. What is worse, at the period of Japanese colonial rule of korea and our nation's founding of early stage, it has been withered by the high-handed policy to change Oriental Medicine into modern medical science. So the therapy of blood-letting barely kept itself in existence in some Buddhist temples. Another case, it has handed down as a old-fashioned quick fix in folk remedies. But all kinds of the contamination of heavy metals and the misuses of antibiotics are widely spread nowadays, which increased diseases of adult people and incurable diseases as modern society unavoidably made its way into a highly industrial society. To make us more miserable, the western medical science - the antibiotics and surgical operation medical science - already reveals itself into a limit. The necessity of a new medical science which can give a security to the patients who are suffering from the diseases of adult people and the incurable diseases is especially come into the force nowadays. In view of the results after bibliographically studying on the blood-letting Therapy in Elementary Questions of the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, the blood-letting therapy has acted for the important Oriental medicinal science and has been clarified the prominent effects on the diseases of adult people and the incurable diseases. So it is regarded as an appropriate thing that we lay out a determined theory of the blood-letting therapy and of course prevent the unwanted side effects from inappropriate medicinal treatments, and make full use of clinic by elevating the curative value and that we win back our self-respect of medical treatment which is dominated from the western medical science and ultimately contribute to national medical welfare.

현대사회에서는 생활환경의 변화와 교통사고의 증가에 의해 해마다 소아의 외상의 증가하고 있는데 구강조직에 대한 외상성 손상을 완전히 치단하는 데에는 한계가 있어 외상성 치아손상에 관한 실태를 조사 분석함으로써 외상처치와 예방에 필요한 기초자료를 제시하고자 강릉대학교 치과병원 소아치과에 2000년 10월 4일부터 2004년 2월 27일까지 외상을 주소로 내원한 113명의 환자를 대상으로 조사 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 연구대상자의 성별에서는 2.05:1의 비율로 남자의 경우가 외상빈도가 더 높게 나타났다. 평균 연령은 남자 5.27세, 여자 5.27세로 차이가 없었고, 전체 연령중 2세에서 외상환자가 제일 많았다(21.2%) 2. 외상부위별 내원기간을 조사한 결과 유치는 당일(34.4%)에 내원한 경우가 가장 많았고, 영구치는 1일 후(38.8%)에 내원한 경우가 가장 많았다. 3. 외상부위별 치아손상의 원인을 분석한 결과 넘어진 경우가 유치 59.4%, 영구치 55.1%, 물체에 부딪친 경우 유치 26.6%, 영구치 26.5%로 나타나 대부분 넘어지거나 부딪쳐서 외상이 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 4. 성별에 따른 치아손상이 발생한 장소는 가정인 경우가 남자 42.1%, 여자 35.1%로 남녀모두 가정에서 외상이 가장 많이 발생하였다. 외상부위에 따른 치아손상 발생한 장소로는 유치는 가정(59.4%)에서 가장 많이 발생하였고, 영구치는 유치원 및 학교(28.6%)에서 가장 많이 발생하였다. 5. 외상부위에 따라 치아손상을 받은 치아의 수를 분석한 결과 유치는 2개(56.3%), 1개(31.3%), 3개와 4개 이상 각각(6.3%), 순으로 나타났으며, 영구치는 2개(46.9%), 1개(28.6%) 4개 이상(16.3%), 3개(8.2%) 순으로 영구치인 경우 4개 이상인 경우도 비교적 높게 나타났다. 6. 성별에 따른 치아손상이 발생한 부위로는 남자 유치 56.6%, 영구치 43.4%, 여자 유치 56.8%, 영구치 43.2%로 남녀 모두 유치에서 외상이 가장 많이 발생하였다. 7. 유치와 영구치의 치아손상부위는 상악 전치부가 거의 대부분을 차지하고, 유치(75%)와 영구치(63.8%) 모두 상악 중절치에서 외상율이 높게 나타났다. 8. 전체적인 외상성 치아손상에 따른 외상종류의 조사결과는 동요 30.2%, 치관파절 28.0%, 함입 14.7%, 진탕 8.9%, 완전 탈구 7.1%, 정출 2.2%, 변위 1.8% 순으로 나타났다. 유치와 영구치별로 외상성 치아손상의 종류를 분류하였을 때 유치는 동요(35.8%)가 가장 많이 나타났고, 파절에서 치관파절은 영구치(44.8%)에서 많이 발생하였다. 9. 외상부위에 따른 외상성 치아손상처치는 처치없이 경과관찰을 한 경우가 유치는 43.2%, 영구치 38.9%로 나타났으며, 치료한 경우 유치는 치수절제술(22.0%), 영구치는 임시적산부식레진수복(19.5%)을 가장 많이 사용하였다.
