Purpose: To investigate the feasibility and clinical result of restoration of large mandibular defect with telescopic crown- retained prostheses.
Methods: One patient who suffered from large mandibular defect was restored with fixed-removable prostheses, with the telescope crowns as the retainer on the lower right second molar and left first, second molar.
Results: The prostheses with telescope crown could be seated freely in the patient's mouth. The function of mastication and phonetics were restored. The appearance of the patient was also improved.
Conclusion: The restoration of large mandibular defect with telescopic crown- retained prostheses is feasible, with satisfactory clinical result.

Background: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique joint that enables mandibular movement. Temporomandibular diseases (TMDs) impair joint function, leading to more or less specific clinical signs.
Objectives: To compile and disseminate clinical data and research findings from existing publications on equine TMD.

Background: Hybrid Odontogenic Tumors (HOT) are defined by the presence of two or more independent odontogenic tumors that originate from and affect the same maxillofacial site.
Methods: The present study is the first case report of a mandibular HOT consisting of Ameloblastoma, Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor, and Ameloblastic Fibroma.
Case Report: A 37-year-old otherwise healthy male presented with the chief complaint of swelling in the right mandibular body.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the changes in the mandibular canal following the treatment of large odontogenic keratocysts through decompression and curettage, providing a theoretical basis for sequential treatment.
Methods: Twenty patients were selected for each decompression and curettage treatment of large odontogenic keratocysts in the mandible. Postoperative follow-up with was conducted every three months, during which cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed.

Canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA) is an invasive benign epithelial odontogenic tumour most commonly affecting the mandible of large breed dogs. To the author's knowledge, this report describes the first computer-aided design patient-specific implant (PSI) that has been placed for a critical sized bone defect in mandibular reconstruction of a dog in the UK. The aim was to restore mandibular stability using a regenerative approach combining a titanium locking plate and compression-resistant matrix infused with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) to bridge the 85 mm mandibular defect created by a segmental mandibulectomy.

Internal root resorption (IRR) is a rare but complex condition characterized by progressive destruction of the internal dentin walls, typically resulting from chronic pulp inflammation, trauma, or infection. Managing apical IRR, particularly in teeth with extensive apical lesions, presents significant challenges due to the limitations of traditional root canal treatment (RCT) and obturation techniques. This report discusses the nonsurgical management of two contralateral mandibular first molars in a 49-year-old male patient, both exhibiting apical IRR and large endodontic lesions.
