The history of Italy has witnessed legends in all fields including plastic surgery and periodontics. Right from research work done in Pathogenesis to their contribution to various new techniques in surgery, Italy has contributed a lot to the field of Periodontology. One such master of Italy whose contribution has taken Periodontology to the next level is Dr. Luca Landi. This Biography describes the outstanding work and contribution of Dr. Luca to the field of Periodontology and Implantology. Currently Dr. Luca is the President of the Italian Society of Periodontology and Implantology.

Implant is the closest equivalent replacement of a natural tooth. Implant dentistry has evolved over the years has become most frequently practiced dental procedure, as it is a functionally sound prosthesis leading to higher success rates. With increased frequency in implant placement, increase in concern while placing implants in aesthetic zone has been observed. Placement of implant in aesthetic zone is extremely technique sensitive and requires proper examination, diagnosis and treatment. Preservation or regeneration of lost soft and hard tissue is extremely important for esthetic and...

Orthodontic tooth movement during space closure is achieved through two types of mechanics. The first type, segmental or sectional mechanics involving closing loops either in a full or sectional archwire. The second type, sliding mechanics, involves either moving the brackets along an archwire or sliding the archwire through the tube or brackets.One of the main differentiating factors between the two types of mechanics pertains to friction. Orthodontic space closure should be individually tailored based on the diagnosis and treatment plan. The effectiveness and superiority of one method over...

Parodontitis ist eine multifaktorielle Infektion des Parodontalgewebes, die durch eine lokale bakterielle Infektion mit einer pathogenen Mikroflora verursacht wird. Die Beseitigung dieser mutmaßlichen Mikroben ist für die Heilung der Parodontitis von entscheidender Bedeutung.In den meisten Fällen wird diese pathogene Flora durch ein mechanisches Debridement unterdrückt. Die Wirksamkeit dieser konventionellen Behandlungsmethoden ist jedoch dadurch begrenzt, dass die tieferen Taschen nicht erreicht werden können. Dies kann zu einer Reinfektion oder zur Bildung von Reservoiren in den...

Dental implants have become an indispensable established therapy in dentistry in order to replace missing teeth in different clinical situations. Under care and attention of indications, anatomical and intra-individual limiting factors, insertion of dental implants seems to represent a "safe" treatment option. Nevertheless, in the last decades increasing evidence raised on the presence of peri-implant inflammations representing one of the most frequent complications affecting both the surrounding soft and hard tissues which can lead to the loss of the implant. Peri-implant inflammations...

HIV-related oral conditions occur in a large proportion of patients, and frequently are misdiagnosed or inadequately treated. Dental expertise is necessary for appropriate management of oral manifestations of HIV infection or AIDS, but many patients do not receive adequate dental care. Common or notable HIV-related oral conditions include xerostomia, candidiasis, oral hairy leukoplakia, periodontal diseases such as linear gingival erythema and necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis, Kaposi's sarcoma, human papilloma virus-associated warts, and ulcerative conditions including herpes simplex...

Periodontitis is characterized by the inflammation of periodontal tissues leading to the loss of support for affected teeth, necessitates not only the elimination of the inflammatory process but also the regeneration of lost periodontal attachment and bone. Platelet concentrates, specifically Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), play a pivotal role in this endeavor. Platelet concentrates, such as PRP and PRF, are prepared through specific centrifugation techniques. PRF, particularly appreciated for its biocompatibility and slow release of growth factors, has shown...

La parodontite se caractérise par l'inflammation des tissus parodontaux entraînant la perte du soutien des dents affectées. Elle nécessite non seulement l'élimination du processus inflammatoire mais aussi la régénération de l'attachement parodontal et de l'os perdus. Les concentrés plaquettaires, en particulier le plasma riche en plaquettes (PRP) et la fibrine riche en plaquettes (PRF), jouent un rôle essentiel à cet égard. Les concentrés plaquettaires, tels que le PRP et le PRF, sont préparés par des techniques de centrifugation spécifiques. La PRF, particulièrement...
