In these cases, the rehabilitation of anterior guidance is needed by prosthetic or orthodontic treatments. However, these treatments are often limited because of financial, time or physical problems of a patient. Furthermore, TMD and masticatory muscle pain can occur in patients with emotional problems, due to associated non-physiologic habits such as bruxism or clenching. In this case report, we used a Michigan type occlusal stabilization splint with canine eminences accompanied by a lack of anterior guidance, in a patient with emotional problems. The patient underwent a 3 year follow-up. After the follow-up, the clinical result was satisfactory without any recurrence of additional occlusal trauma and with a masticatory muscle pain relief.

Currently, there are no appropriate treatment methods and drugs except for surgical operation for treating ameloblastoma. In this manuscript, we revisit the concept of ameloblastoma through molecular and developmental biology to suggest new conceptual approaches based on the principal pathological elucidation with drug repositioning and phytochemistry. Overall, to understand and treat ameloblastoma, it is necessary that experimental model systems for precise functional evaluation of drugs and compounds with molecular and developmental biology approaches should be established.

Diagnosis of horizontal root fractures is mainly from the information obtained in clinical and radiographic examinations. Clinical case reports demonstrate clinical procedures of three horizontal root-fractured teeth, at different thirds, which were healed satisfactorily without endodontic treatment, or a rigid splint, and were carefully monitored.

Also, these patients produce hypernasal sounds during speech because of air leakage into the nasal cavity. A palatal obturator is one of the most commonly used maxillo-facial prosthesis for rehabilitation of maxillary defects, and it separates the nasal cavity from the oral cavity, enabling mastication and deglutition, and it not only improves speech by preventing air leakage but also enhances facial esthetics. In this case report, a palatal obturator was applied to a patient who underwent partial maxillectomy for adenoid cystic carcinoma, and it showed favorable results in terms of rehabilitation of the defect and improvement of mastication, deglutition, speech, and esthetics.
