Domiciliary Dental Care Coverage In Taiwan: An Assessment Of Provider Participation And Geographic Distribution Using The Universal Health Coverage Framework, Chuan-Hang Yu Jan 2026

Domiciliary Dental Care Coverage In Taiwan: An Assessment Of Provider Participation And Geographic Distribution Using The Universal Health Coverage Framework, Chuan-Hang Yu

Journal of Dental Sciences

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 UHC framework. This study assessed DDC coverage in Taiwan using the World Health Organization UHC framework. Materials and methods Publicly available 2024 data were analyzed for dental institutions, practicing dentists, DDC providers, and long-term care populations across Taiwan's six National Health Insurance (NHI) regions and 22 administrative districts. Geographic distribution was examined using provider density metrics, Lorenz curves, and Gini coefficients. Results …

Journal of Dental Sciences

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 enzyme catalytic subunit 3B (APOBEC3B)/anti-silencing function 1B histone chaperone (ASF1B) axis as a potential mediator linking human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, DNA damage, and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling in OPC. Materials and methods Transcriptomic and clinical datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed to examine correlations among APOBEC3B/ASF1B expression, HPV status, and TGF-β signaling activity. Functional assays using HPV-positive and HPV-negative …

Characterization Of The Oral Microbiota In Zygomatic Versus Dental Implants: Implications For Full-Mouth Rehabilitation, Min-Yi Sung, Po-Chih Hsu, Chan-Yen Kuo, Liang-Kun Chen, Chung-Che Tsai, Yi-Chiung Hsu

Journal of Dental Sciences

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 ecological balance of the oral microbiota, potentially influencing peri-implant and sinus-related diseases. Because GZIs often traverse or adjoin the maxillary sinus, their microbial environment may differ from that of general dental implants (GDIs). This study aimed to compare microbiota taxonomy between GZI and GDI sites. Materials and methods Generally healthy adults treated with either general zygomatic implants (GZI group) or …

Journal of Dental Sciences

Background/purpose Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) often develops after extraction of a tooth with a local infection. Therefore, it is necessary to develop extraction methods that can prevent MRONJ. Before examining whether antibiotics and atelocollagen administered in the extraction socket can prevent the development of MRONJ after tooth extraction, this study was conducted to determine the appropriate antibiotics concentration and to conduct a clinical study with a small number of cases as a preliminary study. Materials and methods First, a mixture of minocycline and atelocollagen at different concentrations was implanted into the bone cavity formed in the rabbit head, …

Navigation-Guided Autotransplantation: A Novel Technique For Precise And Predictable Tooth Placement, Yang-Chih Chou, Wen-Hui Chen, Hui-Na Lee, Yu-Feng Chen Jan 2026

Navigation-Guided Autotransplantation: A Novel Technique For Precise And Predictable Tooth Placement, Yang-Chih Chou, Wen-Hui Chen, Hui-Na Lee, Yu-Feng Chen

Journal of Dental Sciences

Autotransplantation (AT) is a promising alternative for restoring failed teeth. However, the success rate varies due to technique sensitivity and absence of standardized protocol. We present the first documented AT protocol utilizing a dynamic navigation system, including three core innovations: (1) navigation-guided socket preparation, (2) extra-alveolar retrograde filling, and (3) digital lingual stent fixation with flowable resin. A 55-year-old Taiwanese female with a vertical root fracture in tooth 36 underwent dynamic navigation-guided AT of tooth 38. The recipient area was prepared using a 2.5 mm wide round bur under the X-Guide® navigation. The X-Mark® probe was used to detect underprepared …
