Characterization of the oral microbiota in zygomatic versus dental implants: Implications for full-mouth rehabilitation
Background/purpose: Dental implants are widely used to restore oral function and esthetics in patients with tooth loss. General zygomatic implants (GZIs) are a valuable alternative for patients with severely atrophic maxillae or post-oncologic defects. However, implant placement can alter the…

Domiciliary dental care coverage in Taiwan: An assessment of provider participation and geographic distribution using the universal health coverage framework
Background/purpose: Universal health coverage (UHC) ensures access to needed health services without financial hardship. While Taiwan has achieved near-universal coverage for most medical services, domiciliary dental care (DDC) for people with mobility limitations remains poorly integrated into the…

Apoptosis-inducing factor mitochondria-associated 2 (AIFM2) promotes tumor progression and predicts poor prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma
Background/purpose: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), remains a major malignancy with limited therapeutic efficacy. Apoptosis-inducing factor mitochondria-associated 2 (AIFM2), also known as ferroptosis suppressor protein 1, regulates…

Development and validation of a checklist for evaluating root canal treatment performance in Taiwan
Background/purpose: Over the past decade, numerous efforts have been made to develop guidelines for endodontic education; however, there has been no corresponding reform of the assessment scale. This study aimed to adopt an integrative approach to develop a checklist that summarizes the guidelines…

Journal Article
Dental caries prevalence and age-related patterns among populations remaining in war-affected regions of Ukraine
Background/purpose: The ongoing war in Ukraine has severely disrupted healthcare infrastructure, limiting access to preventive and restorative dental services. Most existing studies have focused on refugees abroad, while data from civilians who remained in conflict-affected regions are scarce. This…

Journal Article
Effects of restorative materials, colors, and surface finishing on the scanning accuracy of an intraoral scanner
Background/purpose: When teeth are restored using dental materials, there is potential for these restorations to influence the accuracy of intraoral scans. Such variations in accuracy could subsequently affect the precision of the derived virtual cast, the registration of the maxillo-mandibular…

Journal Article
Schneiderian membrane perforation upon the advancement of mechanical drills passing through sinus walls: An ex vivo animal study
Background/purpose: This ex vivo study aimed to evaluate the perforation of Schneiderian membrane upon the advancement of drills incrementally in 1 mm passing through the sinus during the implant site osteotomy with two different drill types and techniques. Materials and methods: Fifty goat heads…

Journal Article
Impact of bone surface inclination on the precision of static fully guided implant surgery: A quantitative analysis
Background/purpose: Although static fully guided systems improve the accuracy of implant placement, most studies have focused on flat bone surfaces, with limited exploration of the effects of sloped bone surface. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of bone surface inclination on the…

APOBEC3B/ASF1B–TGF-β signaling axis promotes epithelial–mesenchymal transition in HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer
Background/purpose: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) generally shows better outcomes, yet a subset of patients develops aggressive lymphatic metastasis. The molecular determinants of this divergence remain unclear. This study explored the apolipoprotein B mRNA editing…

Journal Article
Adjuvant metronomic tegafur-uracil is associated with poorer outcomes and unfavorable histopathologic progression in oral squamous cell carcinomas
Background/purpose: Tegafur-uracil (UFUR) is widely prescribed as metronomic adjuvant chemotherapy for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in East Asia, though its long-term benefit remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the oncologic and pathological impact of adjuvant UFUR in a large…

Journal Article
Evaluation of the performance of an artificial intelligence model in recognizing the habitual mixed language in Taiwan for generating periodontal charting text reports
Background/purpose: “Periodontal charting” in Taiwan typically involves a two-person collaboration. However, while advances in voice technology has made it feasible to use voice recognition to reduce these manpower demands in English-speaking countries, these artificial intelligent (AI) voice…

Journal Article
Biofunctionalized 3D-printed gelatin-alginate scaffolds with arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptides for enhanced in vitro osteogenesis
Background/purpose: Alveolar bone defects are difficult to treat due to ongoing resorption and limitations of conventional grafts. Tissue engineering strategies, particularly 3D hydrogel-based scaffolds, offer promising alternatives by mimicking the extracellular matrix and supporting cell-driven…

Journal Article
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 activation by nattokinase reduces pro-inflammatory and matrix-degrading mediators in human gingival fibroblasts
Background/purpose: Particulate matter (PM) exposure is associated with inflammation and extracellular matrix degradation in periodontal tissues. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) are key mediators in these processes. Nattokinase, a…

Journal Article
Successful prevention of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw after dental extractions by socket preservation with alloplast plus tetracycline in patients taking antiresorptive drugs
Background/purpose: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious side effect of antiresorptive, antiangiogenic or targeted agents, and usually occurs after dental extraction. The etiopathogenesis of MRONJ is multifactorial and not fully understood. MRONJ remains difficult to…
