Background/purpose People who suffer with chronic illness, functional impairment, or cognitive impairment are not easily to visit dental clinics. Domiciliary dental care (DDC) can provide the feasible alternative for these clients. In this study, we first reported the DDC services from a university hospital in central Taiwan from 2010 to 2020. Materials and methods This retrospective study collected the DDC data from Department of Dentistry, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan. The data including age, sex, geographic locations, place of residence, grade of disability, and type of dental treatment for the patients were obtained and analyzed. Results A total of 419 patients (168 females and 251 males) who received dental treatment were included in the study. The average age was 57.4 years old. The total DDC services were up to 2444 visits. The top of place of residence for DDC is patient's home (231/419; 55.13%). Scaling was the most common type of dental treatment for DDC (317/419; 75.67%). The male patients whose age <60 years old had received more DDC (p = 0.002). The profound grade of disability had higher DDC in age <60 years old group (p < 0.001). Conclusion Taken together, this study demonstrates the demographic data of DDC in central Taiwan. The results may be valuable for governmental policy to improve the availability of DDC and in turn to facilitate oral health in this specific group of dental patients.

This commentary serves to explore the relationship between photography and medicine since the 1800s, in order to establish a contemporary link between the two, and thus to act as a renewed invitation for pedagogical consideration for educators and researchers. Three themes are developed: first, there is a strong link between the advancement of photography as a technical field and the advancement of medical practices and education since the 1800s in a way which invites renewed consideration. Second, there is a strong mandate to consider the explosion of visual images in our everyday and global virtual landscapes vis a vis social media for the ongoing purpose of excellent standards for education and research. And finally, the field of narrative medicine has gained significant recognition, bringing the arts into clinical practice and training of clinicians, further suggesting the value and importance of visual data in the field of education and research. These 3 themes are the building blocks for an exploration of the value of visual data, here to stay in virtual and public educational domains. Educators in health sciences and health-related studies are invited to consider the value and strategies of visual data towards curriculum development, as transformative tools, and in regards to their potential not only for education, but also for clinical practice and research.
