Many cases of scoliosis are idiopathic, and therefore the causes have yet to be clarified. Subject A had experienced involuntary contortions of her spine and discomfort for 3 years. She also experienced difficulty when breathing, particularly at night, and, as a consequence, frequently suffered from insomnia. When a titanium implant was brought close to her body, her spinal column began to twist. This case suggests that dental implants may cause scoliosis.

1. Introduction It has been estimated that 65% of all cases of scoliosis are idiopathic in origin, whereas approximately 15% are congenital and approximately 10% are secondary to a neuromuscular disease [1]. The purpose of this report is to show that a dental implant may also be the cause of scoliosis. 2. Subject and methods
removed from her immediate vicinity. When a titanium implant and pure gold were simultaneously brought close to her body, this reaction did not occur (Fig. 3) [3]. When a cell phone was brought close to her body, her spinal column again became twisted [4]. After dental materials that are considered to collect harmful electromagnetic waves were removed from her mouth and replaced with safe materials, her systemic conditions improved. The pain she experienced while breathing seems to have disappeared, along with the insomnia. Although some suspicious and possibly
Subject A is a 57-year-old woman who had been experiencing involuntary contortions of her spine and discomfort for 3 years. She had also experienced difficulty in breathing, particularly at night, and, as a consequence, frequently suffered from insomnia. To identify the cause of this ailment, a titanium implant, a cell phone, and pure gold were brought close to her body and we observed how her bodily condition changed. Dental materials that are considered to collect harmful electromagnetic waves were removed from her mouth and replaced with materials that were judged to be safe by the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test [2]. 3. Results When a titanium implant was brought close to the patient’s body, her spinal column began to twist (Figs. 1 and 2), she had difficulty breathing, and she began to experience other symptoms of discomfort. These symptoms disappeared when the implant was

4. Discussion
Fig. 2. When an implant was brought close to the patient, her spinal column became misaligned. The implant was placed on the base of her neck.
This case suggests that titanium implants may cause scoliosis. This can be certified by the fact that when such an implant was brought close to her body, her spinal column became contorted, she had difficulty in breathing, and she felt uncomfortable. The same reactions occurred when a cell phone was brought close to her body. These results suggest that dental implants collect harmful electromagnetic waves emitted by cell phones. Her scoliosis may thus be a type of electromagnetic wave hypersensitivity [5]. Although she did not have any dental implants, she did have some dental materials that are considered to collect harmful electromagnetic waves. It appears that pure gold neutralizes the negative effects of electromagnetic waves. After the aforementioned dental materials were removed and replaced with safe materials, her systemic conditions improved. A vast majority of scoliosis cases are idiopathic but this case shows that scoliosis can be caused by dental implants. In recent years, implant treatment has become a more common practice in dentistry. Accordingly, it would be advisable to warn patients about the possibility of scoliosis being caused by implants. The Bi-Digital O-Ring Test [2] is a useful means of determining the safety of the dental material concerned.
5. Conclusions These results suggest that some cases of scoliosis are caused by dental implants, which may collect harmful electromagnetic waves. There is a possibility that dental treatment in which suspicious dental materials are replaced with safer materials may cure these ailments. In these cases, using the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test is very useful for identifying suspicious materials in addition to ideal materials. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that electromagnetic waves emitted by electro-devices (i.e., cell phones) are harmful to the body. Recently, the number of implant treatments has increased. We accordingly need to inform patients who undergo implant treatment of the possible risk of developing scoliosis. Fig. 3. When a titanium implant and pure gold were simultaneously brought close to the patient’s body, her spine column did not become contorted.
hazardous materials remained, when a titanium implant or mobile phone was subsequently brought close to the patient, her spinal column remained properly aligned, and she experienced no discomfort.
