Objectives : The aim of this study is to summarize and compare acupuncture points used for dental disorder in the classics with those used in recent clinical trials. Methods : We searched the data for acupuncture points used and rationale of acupuncture in dentistry. Following two sources were searched: 1) seven Classics of traditional medicine and 2) clinical trials through Pubmed from January 2000 to March 2013 with no language restriction. Results : Dental pain was the most common disorder in the dentistry section of the Classics of traditional medicine. We found many similarities of acupuncture points used between literatures and clinical trials. From the meridian perspective, large intestine meridian(LI), stomach meridian(ST), triple energizer meridian(TE), and gallbladder meridian(GB) were frequently used in the Classics of traditional medicine and the clinical trials. From the acupuncture point perspective, acupuncture points were selected according to syndrome. The specific points such as five transport points, source points, and connecting points were also used. In the clinical trials, combination of acupuncture points usually consisted adjacent points and distant points. Among them, LI4 was used in all of the studies included in this review. Conclusions : For well-designed clinical trial, appropriate intervention is essential. To establish appropriate acupuncture treatment, we have to suggest reasoning for treatment based on literature and/or expert consensus. Our review only focused on pain relief in dentistry and had many limitations. Further studies based on the literatures such as the Classics of traditional medicine are required to ensure the rationale of acupuncture treatments in various dental disorders.

Two kinds of Bunchon-ga are similar in "Chimguchwiyeong", "Nengmunjeonsudong-injihyeol", and also in "Gyeongrakgo(經絡考)", "Gyeongrakhoepyeon(經絡匯編)", and "Geumchimbijeon(金針秘傳)" Bunchon-ga of twelve meridian is different from their order - Stomach meridian(胃經), Bladder meridian(膀胱經), Kidney meridian(腎經), Triple Energizer meridian(三焦經), and Gallbladder meridian(膽經). In nine kinds of Bunchon-ga, missing acupuncture points(漏落穴) are generally located on the first line of Bladder meridian(膀胱經) - from Daejeo(大杼) to Baekhwansu(白環兪), and Pungsi(風市), Haegye(解谿), Yangsi(羊矢), Geummaek(急脈) are not appeared in them, Hyeopdang(脇堂), Michung(眉衝), Yanghyeol(陽穴) are recorded. There are some parts adapted different way of proportional bone chon - from Yanggok(陽谿) to Gokji(曲池) in Large Intestine meridian[大腸經], from Sanggu(商丘) to Umreungcheon(陰陵泉) in Spleen meridian[脾經], and from Oegwan(外關) to Sadok(四瀆) in Triple Energizer meridian[三焦經].

Bunchon on breast and abdomen, is generally explained by vertical, horizontal finger chon based on Governor vessel[任脈], vertical explanations of each book have little difference opinions, but horizontal have many. Especially, the locations of Eunmum(殷門), Bukeuk(浮郄) and Wiyang(委陽) are extremely different from "Chimguhak(鍼灸學)", and "WHO standard acupuncture point locations".

Acupuncture and Low-frequency-wave stimulation at the Points (LI4, LI6, LI8 and LI11) on the large intestine meridian of hand resulted in same pattern about body temperature profiles with time. Upon 4Hz and 50Hz stimulation the temperature profiles on LI6 and LI11 were declined probably because of their relationship with Proprioceptive activity. Temperature different at the points was higher when the intensity of low-frequency-wave stimulation was stronger.

Objectives : The pain was induced on upper and lower incisor of the rat based on the theory of 'connections of upper incisor pain with stomach meridian and lower incisor pain with large intestine meridian'. Such acupoints as LI4 and ST36 were used for alleviation of upper and lower incisor pain. Methods : The digastric myogram (dEMG) was utilized for the pain measurement. Results : The ST36 acupuncture after induction of upper incisor pain was gradually decreased or increased the dEMG. The LI4 acupuncture after induction of upper incisor pain was gradually decreased the dEMG. The ST36+LI4 acupuncture after induction of upper incisor pain was gradually decreased the dEMG. We knew this thing which the ST36+LI4 acupuncture decreased the dEMG most greatly and kept long compared to ST36 acupuncture, LI4 acupuncture. Conclusions : Acupuncture treatment at the loci of not only ST36 acupuncture but LI4 acupuncture were relieved the upper incisor pain. It was well suitable to the theory 'connections of upper incisor pain with stomach meridian' that ST36 acupuncture decreased the upper incisor pain. But there was not to decrease the dEMG for the ST36 acupuncture. We are considered as tracing study continuously about ST36 acupuncture. It was not suitable to the theory 'connections of upper incisor pain with stomach meridian' that LI4 acupuncture decreased the upper incisor pain. These results was considered as the function by the characteristic of the LI4 acupoint.

Pulse diagnosis, the most popular diagnostic tool in traditional Korean medicine, had had many forms but had been fixed on using wrist pulse and placing internal organs on Cun, Guan and Chi(寸 關 尺). Wang Shuhe(王叔和) suggested placing six viscera(六腑) on Cun, Guan and Chi based on relationship between external and internal meridian vessel, and Zhang Jiebin(張介賓) criticized his suggestion and insisted that pulse diagnosis should be based on the organ system. But the origin of pulse diagnosis which can be found in "(Huangdi's) Internal Classic(黃帝內經)" is a tool mainly for diagnosis of not internal organ system but meridian system. Most of material about pulse diagnosis after Ming dynasty(明代) reinterpreted pulse diagnosis in the aspect of organ system, So there has to be additional discussion about it.
