Singapore is expected to become a super‐aged society by 2030, increasing the need for geriatric dentistry. Interest in oral frailty is rising, while the oral cavity - as the entry to the digestive system - offers a unique link between oral function, food properties, and nutrition. In Japan, dentists help determine appropriate food textures and participate in decisions about nutrition routes, including whether oral intake is feasible or whether alternative enteral feeding routes - such as gastrostomy feeding or nasogastric feeding - are required.

Although oral and dental surgery has been proven to be effective and predictable, several factors influence the success of the treatment outcomes. These include basic requirements, such as incision techniques, flap design and suturing practices.
