Meet Our Speakers
Prof. Natalia Di Pietro
Department of Medical, Oral and Biotechnological Sciences, University “G. d’Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara, Chieti, Italy.;
Natalia Di Pietro is an Associate Professor at the University of "G. d’Annunzio" in Chieti-Pescara, Italy. She has authored over 92 international publications (H-index 26, 2,096+ citations, Scopus), several book chapters, and national papers, and holds a PhD from the University of "G. d’Annunzio" and NIDDK, NIH, USA. Her research initially focused on vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and related diseases such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, obesity, and neurodegeneration, studied through in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models. Since 2020, her work has expanded to oral health, focusing on innovative biomaterials, dental implants, bone and soft tissue regeneration, osseointegration, neoangiogenesis, advanced medical device applications and the regenerative potential of exosomes and extracellular microvesicles.
She has coordinated and contributed to numerous national and international research projects. Prof. Di Pietro serves on editorial boards and scientific committees, reviews for multiple international journals, and has received awards for scientific excellence. She also mentors post-doctoral fellows, supervises PhD and undergraduate theses, supports ERASMUS students, and is a director on the Board of the Bone Biomaterials & Beyond Academy (BBBA).
Dr. Luca Comuzzi
Private Practice, San Vendemiano-Conegliano Veneto (TV), Italy.;
Dr. Luca Comuzzi earned his DDS from the University of Verona in 1996 and completed a Master of Science in Periodontology (EFP Certified) at the University of Nijmegen in 2000. From 2002 to 2017, he served as Director of the Postgraduate Course in Periodontology at the University of Padova.
He is an experienced oral surgeon, periodontist, and prosthodontist, with over 29 years of clinical practice and more than 18,000 implants placed. Since 2015, he has collaborated with Prof. Adriano Piattelli on clinical and research projects, contributing to multiple publications and presentations.
Since 2020, Dr. Comuzzi has been President of the Revcon Academy, focusing on the development of implant–prosthetic conometric systems (AoN) and promoting double conometric implant solutions (CLIKSS) integrated with Computer-Assisted Navigated surgery. He is a specialist in the use of Navigation Systems such as Navident; an Active Member of the BBBA Academy, DDS Society, and DNS society; and regularly lectures at national and international events in periodontology and implantology.

1st Osteology Webinar
Morse-Taper Connections, Biconometry and Dynamic Navigation in Implant Dentistry
In this Webinar were presented the in vitro, experimental animal and human histological studies, and human radiologic and clinical short term and long term results using Morse-Taper connection implants. All this studies, performed in several Laboratories and Clinical Centers all around the World, have consistently demonstrated the highest sealing capability of this type of implant-abutment connection, with the lowest amount of bacterial leakage at the level of the microgap of the implant-abutment connection. Experimental animal and human histologic studies have always shown the presence of newly-formed bone over the implant shoulder, while clinical and radiographical studies, some of them with long-term results, have shown a very low amount of resorption of the marginal crestal bone. The use, moreover of a biconometric technique, i.e. the use also of a conometric connection between the abutment and the prosthetic cap, and the use of Dynamic Navigation Surgery could help the cliniciand to obtain excellent results.
