Endodontist and histopathologist specializing in pulp biology, periapical tissue reactions, and endodontic infection research. Medical Doctor and Doctor of Dental Surgery. Owner and director of private histology laboratory for hard tissue microscopy.

Over 40 years of clinical and research experience studying biological responses of pulp and periapical tissues to caries and endodontic treatment. Since 1998 operates own histology laboratory developing advanced skills in hard tissue preparations for light microscopy, enabling groundbreaking research correlating clinical findings with histological evidence. Research focus on pulpal and periapical tissue reactions to carious process and treatment procedures, biofilms in endodontic infections, vital pulp therapy outcomes, pulp regeneration and revascularization, and mechanisms of endodontic success and failure.

World's leading expert in microscopy of dental hard tissues having published over 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles establishing histological foundation for evidence-based endodontics. Author and co-author of eight textbooks on endodontics including "Endodontology: Clinical and Biological Aspects" (Italian-language reference) and "Endodontology: An Integrated Biological and Clinical View" (comprehensive textbook and atlas published by Quintessence). International lecturer presenting at most prestigious dental conferences worldwide on vital pulp therapy, regenerative endodontic procedures, clinical science of endodontic success and failure, and histopathology of pulpal and periapical diseases.

MD. DDS. Extensive publication record in Journal of Endodontics, International Endodontic Journal, and other leading journals. Research has fundamentally changed understanding of pulp response to caries (demonstrating reversibility of pulpitis under proper conditions), effectiveness of partial pulpotomy procedures, role of biofilms in persistent infections, and importance of complete bacterial elimination for healing. Studies utilize human tooth specimens collected from clinical cases, processed in private laboratory using specialized techniques enabling visualization of bacteria, tissue responses, and healing outcomes. Practice in Cetraro limited to complex endodontic cases referred by specialists throughout Italy.

Endodontist and oral surgeon specializing in endodontic retreatment and apical microsurgery. Chief doctor and founder of Apico.pro clinic in Moscow, exclusively dedicated to tooth preservation through advanced endodontic techniques.

Over 20 years of clinical experience in complex root canal treatments and periapical surgery under operating microscope. Specializes in saving teeth previously deemed hopeless by other specialists, focusing on challenging cases requiring surgical intervention. Receives referrals from general dentists, prosthodontists, oral surgeons, ENT specialists, and neurologists.

International lecturer delivering educational programs on advanced endodontics and apical surgery. Scientific editor at Quintessence Russia and Dental Azbuka publishing houses. Head of Quintessence study club in Endodontics. Speaker at TownieMeeting (2010) and Quintessence Congress in Moscow.

Past President of the Italian Endodontic Society (S.I.E.) and International Federation of Endodontic Associations (I.F.E.A.). Active member of the European Society of Endodontology (E.S.E.) and American Association of Endodontists (A.A.E.).

Invited Professor and Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Brazil. Lieutenant Colonel in the Brazilian Military Police Dental Department (since 1994). Specialist in endodontics with focus on advanced root canal anatomy research using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) technology. Co-creator of "The Root Canal Anatomy Project," a free online educational resource providing high-resolution 3D images and videos of root canal systems for educators, students, and clinicians worldwide.

Over 30 years of combined clinical, military, academic, and research experience in endodontics. Pioneer in applying micro-CT technology to study root canal morphology and its influence on endodontic treatment outcomes. Research focuses on non-invasive 3D analysis of root canal anatomy, evaluation of root canal preparation techniques, canal obturation protocols, and retreatment procedures. Expert in identifying anatomical variations that impact clinical decision-making and treatment success. Maintains part-time clinical practice in Brazilian Military Police Dental Services alongside academic research position.
