Sarcopenia has been shown in previous studies to increase the mortality rate of the elderly by 2.34 times. The effective diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenia is a critical public health issue. The Comprehensive Screening System for Sarcopenia (CSSS) and nutritional supplements (Sarcopenia Intervention Regimen, SIR) developed in our hospital are expected to be the first complete solution model in Taiwan to accurately diagnose sarcopenia and provide effective intervention.

Computer aided manufacture (CAM) milling machine which mills and grinds a porcelain material to cut the unique crown.
The differences between same-day crowns and regular crowns is the time it takes to create the dental crown. The former is built within approximately three hours. The latter take days to a couple of weeks.
