This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of lasers at various wavelengths in treating medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) using biochemical, clinical scoring, micro CT analysis, and histopathological methods. The study follows the ARRIVE guidelines to ensure robust and transparent research. In our study, there were 6 groups, including one SHAM group, one CONTROL group, and four experimental groups, with 8 rats in each individual group.

- Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious issue linked to bisphosphonate use, causing bone death in the jaw area.
- A 68-year-old woman with a cancer history faced complications after surgery for this condition, leading to the need for further reconstruction with a Limberg flap.
- The surgery successfully healed her condition and emphasizes the need for customized treatment approaches for MRONJ, showcasing the effective use of the Limberg flap in such cases.
This study aimed to assess subperiosteal implants concerning bone stress and screw displacement, utilizing finite element analysis to determine the optimal screw diameter for enhanced bone support. Computed tomography data were translated into STL format, generating two skull models. Subperiosteal implants were constructed on these models and placed accordingly.

In this study, we aimed to identify the retinal vascular pathologies in BD patients by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging.
Methods: Retinal vascular analysis from 35 BD patients and 30 healthy controls (HCs) were scanned using the OCTA machine.
Purpose: we aimed to report on the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) outcomes of eight patients with optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M) who were treated with 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
Methods: We examined sixteen eyes of eight patients-eight eyes with ODP-M and eight healthy fellow eyes. Fundus color photography, fundus autofluorescence, fundus fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCTA were performed.
