The purpose of this site is simply to share some of my thoughts, ideas and work with peers and students.
Join me in a journey to teaching and learning of Implant Dentistry!
Robotic implant surgery is already being hailed as the next frontier—a technological revolution promising unprecedented precision, improved outcomes, and even the holy grail of fully automated surgery. But let’s take a step back and ask: how far have we truly
Precision Medicine or P4 is a paradigm of care which considers a patient’s individual characteristics to guide diagnosis and treatment. With the wide implementation of a digital workflow, implant dentistry is not fit for P4 practice focused on personalised care,
dental implants placed in fresh extraction sockets were first documented more than 25 years ago, so one might wonder why “immediacy” took so long time to mature into the mainstream implantology. The progress of a scientific protocol however, is rarely

With Artificial Intelligence entering every aspect of healthcare, the already increasingly digitized field of Implant Dentistry has become a testing ground for new tools. But what is in the core of this “artificial intelligence” revolution and how different is it
Is the implant emergence profile important for success of treatment? A wide mucosal emergence angle of the implant prosthesis can increase by as much as 30 times the risk for inflammation of the peri-implant tissue, as shown by a recent
