Over 20 years of clinical experience focusing on guided bone regeneration, ridge splitting techniques, sinus augmentation, and decompression technique for lateral bone augmentation in posterior mandible. Developed innovative protocols for bone augmentation achieving predictable long-term results. Active researcher in periodontal and implant therapy with focus on cement excess detection, peri-implant tissue management, and biological complications prevention.

International lecturer and course instructor delivering practical hands-on training programs at national and international levels. Fellow of the International Team for Implantology (ITI), partner since 2010 and full member since 2017. Recipient of ITI Poster Presentation Prize at 2010 ITI Congress in Geneva for research on "The influence of margin location on the amount of undetected cement excess after delivery of cement-retained implant restorations."

DDS. Specialist in Periodontology. PhD. Fellow of Lithuanian Association of Periodontology. Member of the Baltic Osseointegration Association. Completed Certificate Program for the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) in 2014. Published extensively in international peer-reviewed journals on implant dentistry, peri-implant disease, and bone augmentation techniques.

Orthodontist specializing in temporary anchorage devices and biomechanics. Founder of Beethoven Orthodontic Center and Newton's A Inc. in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Inventor of OrthoBoneScrews (OBS), a skeletal anchorage system widely used in contemporary orthodontics.

Over 30 years of clinical experience utilizing miniscrews and bone plates for maximum anchorage in complex orthodontic cases. Pioneer in developing simplified bone screw placement techniques achieving high success rates and minimal patient discomfort. Developer of non-surgical treatment protocols for severe malocclusions traditionally requiring orthognathic surgery, using strategic OBS placement for three-dimensional tooth movement control.

International lecturer and educator teaching OBS techniques through workshops and clinical demonstrations worldwide.

Developer of clinical protocols for OBS placement integrating anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics for predictable skeletal anchorage. Lectures internationally on temporary anchorage devices, biomechanics, and efficient practice management in orthodontics.

In 1992 received the Master of Science in Dentistry in Periodontology.

Has since cooperated with different research groups at projects related to guided tissue regeneration, guided bone regeneration and implant dentistry.

He is author of more than 30 papers published on peer reviewed magazines, co-author of the book Bone Biomaterials and Beyond where he wrote the chapter on periodontal regeneration.

Active member of the Italian Academy of Esthetic Dentistry, of the European Society of Cosmetic Dentistry, Certified member of the Italian Society of Periodontology, International member of the American Academy of Periodontology.

Funding member and vice president of the Bone Biomaterials and Beyond Academy.
