It is very important to understand the chief complaint of a patient prior to evaluation of prognosis and establishment of treatment plan. The purpose of this study was to prepare the basic data available for dental practitioners in establishing the treatment plan of periodontal patients. The chief complaints were statistically analyzed according to age and sex from 5.843 periodontal cases(age range: $20{\sim}70,male$: 3,048, female: 2,795) by means of Chi-Square Test in Microstat program. The results were as follows : 1.The proportion of each chief complaint, except routine check was in the following order: pain(32.84%) ; gingival swelling(13.35%); tooth mobility(13.2S%); hypersensitivity(12.53%) ; gingival bleeding(8.45%) ; pus discharge(8.33%) ; food impaction(3.80%); gingival recession(3.59%); halitosis(2.70%) ; itching sensation(1.90%); spacing(O.48%) ; implant(O.39%) ; gingival discoloration(0.38%). 2. The pain was the predominant chief complaint of periodontal patients regardless of age and sex(p

Objectives The object of this study is to investigate the characteristics of Ryodoraku score in the Children who visited Department of Pediatrics, Hospital of Oriental Medicinewith Growth treatment as a chief complaint. Methods Subjects were 58 children who visited Department of Pediatrics, Hospital of Oriental Medicine the first time with Growth treatment as a chief complaint. We measured the height and Ryodoraku score, and we also checked bone age from some of them. This study was designed to investigate the characteristics of Ryodoraku score in children with Growth treatment as a chief complaint. Results and Conclusions The results were follows 1. The average value of Ryodoraku score in 58 children was $41.8800{\pm}13.82641$. 2. The value of H1(肺), H5(三焦), H6(大腸), H2(心包), H3(心), F4(膀胱) and F5(膽) had significant statistical differences compared to its total average. 3. The value of F3(腎) had no relationship with Mid-Parental Height(MPH) percentile. 4. The value of F1(脾), F3(腎) and total average was classified by the height percentile values when children visitedand the difference between the predicted height percentile, and it resulted as there were no relationship between those two

Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the prevalence of orthodontic problems and the proportion of patients who underwent orthodontic diagnosis among children aged 6 (n = 300), 7 (n = 400), and 8 (n = 400) years who had undergone panoramic radiography. Methods: Children were divided into five groups according to their chief complaint and consultation: conservative dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics). Chief complaints investigated included first molar eruption, lack of space for incisor eruption, frequency of eruption problems, lack of space, impaction, supernumerary teeth (SNT), missing teeth, and ectropion eruption. The number of patients whose chief complaint was not related to orthodontics but had dental problems requiring orthodontic treatment was counted. The proportion of patients with orthodontic problems who received an orthodontic diagnosis was also examined. Results: Dental trauma and SNT were the most frequent chief complaints among the children. The proportion of patients with orthodontic problems increased with age. However, the orthodontic diagnosis rates based on panoramic radiographs among children aged 6, 7, 8 years were only 1.5% (6 years) and 23% (7 and 8 years). Conclusions: Accurate information should be provided to patient caregivers to correct misconceptions regarding the appropriateness of delaying orthodontic examination until permanent dentition is established.

Epilepsy is a chronic cerebral. disease resulting from a variety of factors, which is a syndrome with chief complaint of recurrent seizure caused by abnormal electrical discharge of cerebral nerve cell, while the clinical result showed that epilepsia occurs more frequently in pediatrics. A Child having the chief complaint of recerrent vomiting for 2 months undergone the brain and abdominal C.T, MRI, and gastric endoscopy, when the child was normal. While vomiting gas too serious to administer a medicine, a cyclic vomiting repeated with its discontinuation for 2-3 days after continuation for 10 days.

There was no any particular complaint for 1 year and 2 months, then, the child complained moderate headache. For thjs reason, we performed again electroencephalography, when there appeared in epilepsia opinion. Since then, we have experienced a case of autonomic nervous seizure which was significantly improved by anticonvulsant, and a therapy by using the phlegm resolvents and central stimulants for treating epilepsy(豁痰醒腦治癎法) as an oriental medicine.

Our results show that in the control group, Korean female adolescents[chief complaint is cowding$(30.6\%)$, spacing$(26.5\%)$, upper anterior protrusion$(18.4\%)$, anterior cross bite$(8.2\%)$ in order. Korean female adolescents considered anterior cross bite is more nonacceptable than spaeing and anterior protrusion.

During the therapeutic period, he experienced temporary improvement. Methods: We treated him with emotional freedom techniques(EFT), giungoren-therapy. Also, acupuncture and chuna therapy were accessorily practiced. The effects of treatment were measured by Beck depression inventory(BDI), state-trait anxiety inventory(STAI), insomnia severity index(ISI). Results: After treatment, the chief complaint have been subsided and improved. But, BDI, STAI, ISI score were not remarkably decreased. Conclusions: This result suggests that EFT and giungoren-therapy might be effective for sleep disorder patient with anxiety.
