Dental Perspectives on Biomedicine and Society: Editorial Pages is a curated compendium of thirty-five essays for an international cadre of dental clinicians, biomedical scientists, bioengineers, and public health authorities. It is organized into five thematic sections—Ethics and Accountability; Health for Public; Pathways to Communication; Legacy and Milestones; and Collaboration with Engagement—each distilling critical insights at the intersection of science, practice, and society.

The first section, Ethics and Accountability, interrogates the moral imperatives of biomedical research and clinical innovation, from reasserting ethical oversight in regenerative trials to confronting controversies in gene intervention and organ fabrication. Health for Public examines oral-systemic connections and population-level strategies, spanning periodontal vaccine prospects, precision care protocols, equity in special-needs dentistry, outbreak responses, and the socioeconomic determinants of oral health. Pathways to Communication addresses the integrity and evolution of scholarly discourse, from upholding publication ethics and metadata standards to leveraging digital infrastructures for transparent data sharing and citation management. Legacy and Milestones traverses the field’s historical and visionary landmarks, reflecting on a half-century of transformative biomaterials research, the osseointegration revolution, and the digital health ecosystem that empowers patient-centric care. Finally, Collaboration with Engagement spotlights the global networks and dialogues that sustain innovation—from five decades of Korean-international partnerships to the defense of academic freedom, evidence-based explorations of human origins, and dentistry’s role amid shifting geopolitical landscapes.

By weaving peer-reviewed analysis, clinical vignettes, and forward-looking commentary, this volume charts a roadmap for interdisciplinary collaboration and compassionate practice. Dental Perspectives on Biomedicine and Society equips scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers with the intellectual tools to integrate cutting-edge discovery with societal needs, driving oral health forward in an ever-changing world.
