Description
John Rong Hao Tay and seven colleagues describe this 2026 PLOS One paper on the creation of a large oral disease registry at Singapore's national dental center. The registry pulls together electronic health records to standardize information on dental and mouth diseases across the country's largest healthcare group. The authors explain how it was governed and built, and profile the patients recorded between 2013 and mid-2025.
The registry now holds records for well over two hundred thousand patients, roughly half women and half men, with an average age near fifty. Those records reveal a heavy burden of tooth loss and gum disease, including many advanced periodontitis cases. As Singapore's first resource of this scale for oral health, it gives researchers and planners real-world data for improving dental services.
