Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition of multifactorial origin, is a major cause of irreversible vision loss in industrialized countries. The dry late stage of the disease, known as geographic atrophy (GA), is characterized by progressive loss of photoreceptor cells and retinal pigment epithelial cells in the central retina. An estimated 300 000 to 550 000 people in Germany suffer from GA.

This case study details a 41-year-old male patient with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) who presented with ocular hypertension. The intraocular pressure (IOP) in his right eye progressively increased over time, leading to visual field loss, culminating in a diagnosis of juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma (JOAG). Despite conventional medical therapies, adequate IOP control was not achieved, necessitating his referral to Nagoya City University Hospital.

Oral paresthesia occurs when one of the nerves in the region is injured, usually the inferior alveolar and/or lingual nerve, after dental procedures such as the extraction of lower third molars. The objective of this study was to describe the case of a patient who received photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy for paresthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) caused by the extraction of mandibular third molars. The protocol used involved a super-pulsed diode laser with dual wavelengths of 810 nm and 980 nm, 1 W, 60 seconds, 12.
