Oral Medicine is primarily a nonsurgical dental discipline that includes management of (1) oral mucosal and salivary gland diseases; (2) temporomandibular disorders and orofacial pain; (3) oral complications of systemic disease; and (4) dental management of medically complex patients within its scope of practice. In the United States, the American Academy of Oral Medicine (AAOM) is the professional organization that primarily supports Oral Medicine education, research, and patient care. This document informs the knowledge, skills, and behaviors of beginning Oral Medicine graduates in the United States in three domains: Diagnosis and primarily nonsurgical management of oral mucosal and salivary gland disorders. Diagnosis and primarily nonsurgical management of temporomandibular, orofacial pain, and neurosensory disorders. Management of the medically complex patient. Each domain is subsequently expanded with major competencies and supporting competencies.

Identify characteristics of Vietnamese oral squamous cell carcinoma patients by machine learning on transcriptome and clinical-histopathological analysis.
J Dent Sci
December 2024
Blood Transfusion Haematology Hospital No. 2, Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam.
Background/purpose: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is notorious for its low survival rates, due to the advanced stage at which it is commonly diagnosed. To enhance early detection and improve prognostic assessments, our study harnesses the power of machine learning (ML) to dissect and interpret complex patterns within mRNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data and clinical-histopathological features.
Materials And Methods: 206 retrospective Vietnamese OSCC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor samples, of which 101 were subjected to RNA-seq for classification based on gene expression.
The salivary microbiome and oral health status in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B.

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Huddinge, Sweden.
Background/purpose: Dysbiosis of oral microbiota has been reported in late stage of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection with cirrhosis. CHB is characterized by the constant virus-induced liver injury which may lead to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, some patients show normal liver function without antiviral treatment, associating with favourable prognosis.

Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Background/purpose: Many designs of static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS) are available for clinician to achieve proper implant position. However, there were not any studies that approached the design alone to evaluate whether sleeve-in-sleeve or sleeve-on-drill design provided most accuracy implant position. The purpose of this study was to investigate the precision of implant placement with sleeve-in-sleeve and sleeve-on-drill static computer assisted implant surgery (sCAIS) designs.

Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) is a field that straddles knowledge and clinical experience from both medical and dental specialties. In the small island nation of Singapore, the rapidly and constantly changing needs of its diverse and aging population, as well as changes in the mindsets of both students and educators have led to many developments in the local OMS program. Tied to the only dental school in the country, the curriculum of the training program has kept up with the changes in the demographics and attitudes of the local patient pool, which comprises a multicultural population with both traditional and modern mindsets.

Background/purpose: Computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) is increasingly performed to reduce deviations in implant position. Dynamic CAIS or navigation systems provide instant display of implant drilling instruments and patient positions directly on the computer monitor. Augmented reality (AR) technology allows operators to visualize real-time information projected onto the lenses of AR glasses.
