This case report describes a 37-year-old man who underwent renal transplantation and subsequently developed complicated recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) . Despite initial treatment with fosfomycin and meropenem, the patient experienced persistent UTIs, leading to multiple hospitalizations. The management of these recurrent infections eventually required the use of tigecycline. Although tigecycline is not typically considered a urinary antibiotic owing to its limited urinary excretion, it was successfully employed in this case to manage the recurrent infections. The patient was treated with tigecycline for several episodes of UTI, which provided a crucial therapeutic option in the context of antibiotic resistance. This case underscores the challenges of managing recurrent MDR UTIs in immunocompromised patients and highlights tigecycline as an effective treatment strategy when standard therapies fail.

A 15-year-old female sought multidisciplinary treatment for hypodontia, three-dimensional problems, deep overbite, multiple occlusal interferences, and collapse of the occlusion. Through virtual-digital design with objective decomposition, this patient underwent five steps of orthodontic treatment under the guidelines of the principles: removal of occlusal restriction is a prerequisite; transverse problems are solved first; then sagittal problems; and vertical correction runs through the treatment. After orthodontic and prosthetic treatment, aesthetic appearance and functional occlusion were achieved.
