This study aims to show that the buccal mucosa can be negatively affected by a rough tooth surface or protrusion, potentially influencing the condition of a patient’s pelvic region. Herein, this work presents a case of a 20-year-old female suffering from lumbago due to unknown causes. The patient was treated by a simple dental procedure, wherein a wisdom tooth was extracted, thereby inhibiting the negative stimulation of the buccal mucosa. After the extraction, her range of motion and pelvic joint restriction improved, and her lumbago symptoms subsided. There was no recurrence of symptoms for at least one year after the procedure. Although the reason for the effectiveness of this treatment remains unclear, dentists should pay attention to the effects of tooth formation on the entire body. Dental conditions may have an effect on diseases that affect other parts of the body. Thus, dental treatments may be considered as an option for managing other systemic disorders.
