A new academic year begins — and so does a brand-new journey for HKU Dentistry BDS Year 1 students.
新學年正式開始，一班港大牙科新生亦展開全新的牙醫學習旅程。

【專欄 | 骨質疏鬆不能植牙？】不少長者誤以為骨質疏鬆一定不能植牙，只能長期依靠活動假牙。但活動假牙的穩定度和咀嚼力始終有限，長遠不但影響飲食和營養吸收，也會降低生活質素。牙醫學院口腔頜面外科臨床副教授王鳳教授指，大部分輕度至中度骨質疏鬆患者，只要經過詳細檢查、合適的手術規劃及妥善的術後護理，仍可安全植牙，恢復穩定咀嚼功能。專欄刊於2026年8月31日的明報，全文連結：https://facdent.hku.hk/news/media/2026/202608/20260831.php

【Column | Can People with Osteoporosis Receive Dental Implants?】Many elderly people mistakenly believe that osteoporosis means they cannot receive dental implants and must rely on removable dentures for the long term. However, removable dentures have limitations in stability and chewing ability, which may affect diet, nutrient intake, and overall quality of life in the long run. Professor Diana Wang, Clinical Associate Professor in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, points out that most patients with mild to moderate osteoporosis can still safely receive dental implants, provided they undergo thorough assessment, appropriate surgical planning, and proper post-operative care, thereby restoring stable chewing function. The column was published on Ming Pao on 31 August 2026. Link: https://facdent.hku.hk/news/media/2026/202608/20260831.php

【Welcome to HKU Dentistry】1 Sep marks the beginning of a new academic year, and HKU Faculty of Dentistry warmly welcomed our incoming students at Orientation Day. Hosted by the Dean, Admissions Tutor, Associate Deans, and Assistant Deans, the Orientation introduced students to the Faculty, the learning journey ahead, and the six-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery curriculum. Students also gained a deeper understanding of the values, expectations, and professional responsibilities that will guide them throughout their dental education.

As they embark on this new chapter, our Faculty encouraged students to uphold compassion, professionalism, and a patient-centred approach in their future practice. Dentistry is not only about clinical skills and scientific knowledge, but also about caring for people and contributing to the advancement of oral health. We look forward to supporting our new students as they grow into future dental professionals who will serve the community with knowledge, integrity, and empathy. Welcome to the HKU Dentistry family!

【專欄 | 護骨藥引發口腔危機：解構「顎骨壞死」的迷思與防線】「雙磷酸鹽」是治療骨質疏鬆症與癌症骨轉移的護骨良藥，但在2000年代初期，部分長期服用或注射這藥物的患者出現「藥物相關性顎骨壞死」（MRONJ），導致不少患者擅自停藥。牙醫學院口腔頜面外科臨床教授梁耀殷教授解釋，為預防骨質疏鬆原因服用或打抗吸收藥物而引發MRONJ的機率極低，遠低於因骨質疏鬆導致髖關節骨折的致命風險。相比之下，高劑量靜脈注射抗吸收藥物的癌症患者風險較高。專欄刊於2026年8月30日的東方日報，全文連結：https://facdent.hku.hk/news/media/2026/202608/20260830.php

【Column │ Bone-Protecting Drugs and Oral Health Risks: Understanding the Myths and Prevention of Jaw Osteonecrosis】Bisphosphonates are effective bone-protecting medications used to treat osteoporosis and bone metastases in cancer. However, in the early 2000s, some patients who had been taking or receiving injections of these drugs over a long period developed medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), leading many patients to stop their medication without medical advice. Professor Mike Leung, Clinical Professor in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, explains that the risk of developing MRONJ from taking or receiving antiresorptive medications for osteoporosis prevention or treatment is extremely low, far lower than the potentially fatal risk of hip fracture caused by osteoporosis. By contrast, cancer patients receiving high-dose intravenous antiresorptive drugs face a higher risk. The column was published in Oriental Daily on 30 August 2026.

【HKU Dentistry & Straumann Forge Strategic Partnership】HKU Faculty of Dentistry has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Straumann to support implant dentistry clinical teaching and services at the Institute for Advanced Dentistry – Multi-Specialty Clinic (IAD-MSC). Under the five-year collaboration, Straumann will sponsor a comprehensive portfolio of implant solutions and biomaterials to support Master students from Periodontology, Implant Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Prosthodontics in providing implant treatments for patients.
