  • Title: Prevention of dental caries by acupuncture.
    Author: Shimura N, Nakamura C, Hirayama Y, Turumoto A, Okada S.
    Journal: Bull Tokyo Med Dent Univ; 1980 Sep; 27(3):137-9. PubMed ID: 6936090.
    Abstract:
    By acupuncture stimulation (at the Chinese meridian point), the total number of oral Streptococci and the caries-pathogenic bacteria, Streptococcus mutans, in the rats were decreased. The anti-RC-20 (Streptococcus mutans) titer of the rat serum increased as the result of acupuncture stimulation. Rat caries induced by a caries induced by a caries-inducing diet (6-PWV) was reduced by acupuncture stimulation.
