The conometric concept in implant prosthetic: no screw no glue implant restorations

Implantologist specializing in immediate loading, intraoral welding, and conometric prosthetic retention. Adjunct Professor at Postgraduate Master's Program in Clinical Implantology, University of Bologna. Inventor of WeldOne and Conometric concepts. Private practice in Bologna limited to implant surgery and prosthetics.

Over 35 years of clinical and research experience in implant dentistry. Developed revolutionary WeldOne technique utilizing intraoral electric resistance spot welding to assemble prefabricated prosthetic components directly in patient's mouth during implant placement surgery, eliminating need for laboratory fabrication and enabling same-day delivery of definitive prostheses. Created Conometric concept employing friction-based prosthetic retention through conical connections instead of cement or screws, providing retrievability with passive fit and superior biomechanical properties.

International lecturer presenting worldwide on immediate loading protocols, primary stability assessment, biomaterials, and aesthetic implant dentistry. Research focus on immediate loading in fresh extraction sockets, implant surface modifications, osteotomy techniques for enhanced primary stability, and digital workflows for guided surgery and prosthetic fabrication. Published 153 articles in peer-reviewed international journals achieving H-index of 36, recognized among most cited researchers in immediate loading implantology.

DDS. Diplomate of International College of Oral Implantology (ICOI). Active member of Academy of Osseointegration (AO). Recipient of multiple research awards from international implant organizations. Inventor holding patents for WeldOne intraoral welding system and Conometric prosthetic retention system, both commercially available worldwide. Textbook author and contributor to major implant dentistry references. Regular faculty at international hands-on courses teaching intraoral welding techniques, conometric prosthetics, socket-shield technique, and immediate loading protocols. Practice equipped with advanced technology for digital planning, guided surgery, CAD/CAM fabrication, and intraoral welding.
