The pendulum is swinging back to saving teeth and implants. This course is your mastership in the principles of regenerative surgery, mucogingival surgery, micro surgical suturing techniques, diagnostics and esthetics. You will expand your clinical skills, to satisfy your patient's requests to preserve teeth. The modern Italian approach in regenerative surgery is here to stay...
Dr. Sandro Cortellini has exceeded my expectations. He is not only a great clinician, researcher, and instructor, but also a very approachable and friendly human being. I cannot be more proud of having taken his course and educating my patients and colleagues in what should be the standard of care. Thank you, Heike, and IDEA, for the opportunity.
I did not know much about periodontal procedures coming to the class. I feel so empowered with the information and techniques provided and things that can be implemented even for a General Dentist. Prof. Cortellini is a legend, and his philosophy and approach is on the forefront and advanced for its time. Thank you, Professor!
This course taught by Dr. Cortellini was the BEST course I have taken so far in my entire career. Every single minute was valuable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone, who wants to improve their regenerative surgical outcomes!
As an oral surgeon, Dr. Cortellini opened my eyes to surgical procedures and treatment planning that I find truly invaluable and that can be applied to my practice. Thank you.
I had always wanted to attend a Dr. Cortellini course. His research and work are a source of inspiration for how I envisioned working in my practice. After attending his IDEA course, I was not disappointed. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a giant in my field."
This is probably the best course I have ever attended. Sandro is so passionate about dentistry. His knowledge is incredible, and the course content was perfectly given and useful for my practice. Thank you. P.S. Thank you for welcoming me into the IDEA family.
It is a simple fact that the 3 courses I have attended at IDEA are the only ones having had the effect of significant change in my subsequent clinical practice. After 22 years in periodontics, this is even more so again with Prof. Cortellini's course on regeneration. All is now clear and simply cannot wait to radically change my clinical approaches to different advanced problems.
Dr. Cortellini is a virtuoso and IDEA provides the ideal environment for professional instruction on a deep level.
