Introduction
We have applied the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test (OMURA,Y.,1977-2000 ; to bellowing BDORT) to dental practice for 20 years and observed its usefulness, and we have reported our findings on this test at every meeting of this society. At the present meeting, we will present the data collected until April 2000 with regarded to intractable diseases, such as those of undetermined origin, but not the cases observed in routine practice, such as drug compatibility test, optimal dose test, and occlusion diagnosis.

Conclusion
As shown in the above table, it was re-confirmed from the data collected at our institute that infections with viruses, fungi, and bacteria and accumulation of heavy metals can be estimated with the BDORT in many intractable cases whose causes cannot be precisely identified by means of Western medicine although we encounter such cases in routine dental practice not infrequently.
