Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement and subsequent degenerative joint disease is characterized as a progressive mechanical disorder with a majority of the initial treatment modalities aimed at managing symptoms and preventing further progression. Arthrocentesis is a minimally invasive and effective first-line surgical treatment option for patients with early stages of TMJ internal derangement who have failed nonsurgical and pharmacological treatment....

Low level light therapy (LLLT), or photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) uses focused light to stimulate cellular metabolism, which can decrease pain as well as accelerate the healing process. Photobiomodulation therapy is defined as a form of light therapy that utilizes non-iodizing light sources, including lasers, light emitting diodes, and/or broadband light, in the visible (400-700 nm) and near infrared (700-1100 nm) electromagnetic spectrum....

Ameloblastoma is a rare progressively growing epithelial odontogenic neoplasm. Although benign, it can expand and invade surrounding structures, and to reoccur if not adequately removed. Current treatment is wide local excision with reconstruction. Traditional reconstructive options included autologous tissues, however, with the advent of virtual surgical planning and custom prosthesis surgeons can provide an increasingly precise functional and aesthetically pleasing reconstruction. The case pre...
