Systemic corticosteroids play an essential role in the management of asthma. During acute exacerbation, the short-term use of systemic corticosteroids is recommended. For patients with uncontrolled asthma and severe asthma, long-term and low-dose oral corticosteroids (OCS) have frequently been advocated. However, both short-term and long-term use of systemic corticosteroids carry the risk of adverse events (AEs), including various morbidities and even mortality. Despite recent progress in adult severe asthma management and the availability of new treatment options, the current domestic guidelines for asthma do not provide specific recommendations for oral corticosteroid tapering in patients with severe asthma. Therefore, the task force team of the severe asthma working group in the Korean Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology has proposed a tapering protocol for systemic corticosteroid use in severe asthma. This includes practical recommendations for monitoring OCS-related AE, particularly for adrenal insufficiency and osteoporosis, which suggests corticosteroid-sparing strategies that include alternative therapies, modifying treatable traits, timely specialist assessment, and shared decision-making with patients. However, further real-world research and collaboration with doctors from primary and academic institutes, patients, and policymakers are necessary to establish an OCS stewardship approach. This should include realistic OCS-tapering strategies for patients with severe asthma using regular OCS, education, and campaigns for patients, the public, and healthcare providers about the burden of severe asthma, as well as improving timely access to specialized severe asthma services for optimal management.

The rapid advancement of digital dentistry has enabled the integration of digital technologies into full-mouth rehabilitation, improving communication between clinicians and dental technicians while greatly enhancing treatment efficiency.This case report details the treatment of a patient with severe tooth erosion and wear, where full-mouth rehabilitation with an increase in vertical dimension was planned. Four digital tools‒an intraoral scanner, facial scanner, T-scan, and Jaw Motion Analyzer‒were used to collect and integrate data, which were then utilized to create a virtual patient through CAD software for the design and fabrication of the prosthesis. The effective use of these digital technologies supported the achievement of a stable occlusion and resulted in both functional and esthetic outcomes. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of a digital workflow in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of the treatment process, producing clinically satisfactory results.
