Regenerative periodontal surgery: infrabony defects management. Advanced seminar by Pierpaolo Cortellini. "VIP" option

Founder and Director of the Cortellini Perio Academy, Florence, Italy. Visiting Professor at the University of Ferrara, Italy. Former 1st EFP Master Clinician designation from the European Federation of Periodontology. Specialist in periodontology with multidisciplinary private practice in Florence focusing on overall patient treatment planning and periodontics. One of the world's most distinguished periodontists and the leading authority on periodontal regeneration.

Over 44 years of involvement in clinical periodontal research since 1982 with special emphasis on periodontal regeneration, minimally invasive periodontal surgery, aesthetic periodontics, and periodontal diagnosis. Pioneer in developing biologically-driven periodontal regeneration protocols for intrabony defects and furcation involvement. Creator of the Modified Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique (M-MIST) and papilla preservation flap designs that have become standard procedures worldwide. Expert in supracrestal fibers preservation during defect debridement, internal mattress suturing techniques for primary closure, critical evaluation and biological selection of regenerative materials, and managing periodontal regeneration in the aesthetic zone.

Author of over 100 original publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals making him one of the most cited researchers in periodontology. Referee for all major scientific journals in periodontology including Journal of Clinical Periodontology, Journal of Periodontology, and International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry. International lecturer presenting extensively on periodontal regeneration, minimally invasive surgery, and aesthetic periodontal procedures throughout Europe, Asia, Americas, and worldwide. Instructor for advanced hands-on workshops teaching regenerative surgery techniques at the Cortellini Perio Academy in Florence. Creator of comprehensive training programs including two-day seminars and three-day hands-on workshops on infrabony defect management and furcation treatment. Developer of novel concepts including three-step regenerative surgery protocol (papilla incision, defect debridement with supracrestal fiber preservation, modified internal mattress sutures) and healing models for regenerating sites. Mentor to thousands of periodontists worldwide who have adopted his regenerative protocols.

MD from University of Florence, Italy (1980). DDS from University of Siena, Italy (1984). Extensive postgraduate training and clinical research in periodontology and regenerative procedures. Visiting Professor appointment at University of Ferrara.
