More about the Instructor:

Professor Andrea Tedesco is an Oral Surgeon and an expert in Zygomatic Implant Dentistry.  He has devised a minimally invasive technique for the use of zygomatic implants associated with Piezoelectric Surgery.  To date, Dr. Tedesco has performed over 200 implant surgeries with the use of Zygomatic Implants.  He specialized in Oral Surgery at the University of Florence, Italy and studied internationally.  He completed a clinical residency on the 'All-on-4 Zygoma' technique with Dr. Paulo Malo in Portugal, and another residency on Zygomatic Implants with advanced surgical techniques with Prof. Chantal Malevez in Bruxelles.  In addition, he got a Post-graduate Diploma at the Oral and Maxillofacial Department of Guy's and St. Thomas Hospital in London.  In July 2014 he completed an Oral and Maxillofacial Program on the implant-prosthetic treatment of severe maxillary atrophy in cancer patients with zygomatic implants, Oral and Maxillofacial Manhattan Clinic, Dir. Prof. Dr. David Silcen, New York.  Dr. Tedesco is a Fellow Member of the Royal Society of Medicine in London, and a member of the European Association for Osseointegration.  He won a price for the Best Presentation at The Royal Society of Medicine in London in January 2016 with his presentation on "The treatment of atrophic maxilla using Zygomatic Implants".
