The need to protect our patients in every dental procedure has led our center to develop high-profile control methods and decontamination techniques. The constant attention of the medical staff, the use of wrapped instruments and disposable hygiene devices are just some of the measures that allow us to guarantee you a very high level of sterilization.

Sterilization

The risk of cross infections can be a complication following any dental procedure. For our Dental Center, it is absolutely essential to respect all the various steps that make up the "sterility cycle". Each instrument used is therefore treated and cleaned, before being subjected to the various standard sterilization processes. The water is purified through various treatments and each sterilizing machine is checked monthly with specific tests to verify its correct efficiency.

Water

Water is an indispensable element during dental procedures. The Pitino Dental Center, to ensure compliance with quality and safety standards, subjects its water reserves to numerous treatments:

• ultrafiltration
• decalcification
• chlorination,
• UV ray disinfection
• reverse osmosis

Air

Filtering and totally eliminating polluting particles present in the air is an essential factor to guarantee all our patients the quality and perfect healthiness of our dental center. In all operating rooms, a change in compliance with the guidelines is guaranteed. Over 30 air changes per hour and continuous checks to guarantee optimal levels of effectiveness for our systems.

Laser

In dentistry, the use of the diode laser brings significant advantages in terms of quality, comfort and above all to guarantee greater effectiveness of the treatment. Its use in dentistry is suitable for numerous applications:

• periodontal disease
• treatment of gingival pockets
• gingival grafts
• gingivectomy
• gingivoplasty

It is also used for haemostasis, removal of neoformations, incision and drainage of abscesses, sterilisation of fistulous canals and in many other dental and oral mucosal pathologies.

Benefits for the patient:

• absence of bleeding
• reduction or no use of anesthetics
• absence of swelling
• greater decontamination
• reduction of healing times
• reduction or absence of post-operative drugs
• Safer interventions on cardiac and coagulopathic patients

Professional benefits:

• Higher quality of intervention
• Greater visibility and precision in cutting
• Reduction of execution times
• Ease and safety of use
• Wider range of treatments
• Patient satisfaction

Radiology

Radiological images are an indispensable tool for the diagnostic development of numerous dental pathologies. For this reason, our center provides its patients with advanced equipment that allows the medical team to quickly develop complete and immediate diagnoses. The patient therefore does not need to perform diagnostic tests outside our facility, but can rely on the professionalism of the center's staff, thus saving time and economic resources.

Microscopy

Each dental procedure is performed in a restricted operating field, in the order of a few centimeters and poorly lit. The use of professional optics, helmets and microscopes is therefore essential to be able to perform many procedures and ensure maximum quality and results.

Intraoral scanner

Digitalization in dentistry is a very current topic and of interest to professional dentists. Rapid intervention, high precision and personalized care, with a significant reduction in costs: these are the pluses that digitalization can guarantee to oral health specialists.

The Pitino Center, always attentive to new medical discoveries and technologies, has invested in TRIOS® 3Shape technology: a modern and multifunctional digital technology capable of revolutionizing the specialist branch related to scanning images of dental arches. With an intraoral scannerand a tiny integrated video camera, it is possible to acquire realistic, highly precise 3D color impressions, while simultaneously offering maximum efficiency and comfort to the patient.

The advantages of TRIOS® technology:

• with Trios3Shape, the different work steps required by the classic procedure for impression acquisition
• identifying a suitable impression tray, positioning the paste and mixing materials - are obsolete.
• The intraoral scanning, using a 3D camera, which captures images in an absolutely precise and reliable manner, ensures quality dental interventions and restorations. The results, in digital format, are processed by software and sent to a milling machine (present in the office) that creates the real prosthesis. And so it is possible to create a dental prosthesis in a shorter time, with considerable savings in time and money.
• In terms of comfort, the patient obtains significant benefits. The annoying sensation of bulk given by the "old" impression technique with retraction paste, gives way to an experience of maximum comfort and well-being.
• The less invasive techniques for the benefit of younger patients. The intraoral scanner, which looks like a simple toothbrush, transforms the visit to the dentist into something similar to a game, with the possibility for the child to monitor the images of their teeth directly on the computer screen.
• The exclusively digital 3Shape workflow also brings an additional advantage in terms of environmental respect. In fact, 3D scanning does not require the use of any material or paste, consequently predisposing for the total elimination of polluting waste substances.

Painless anesthesia

Anesthesia is often a source of discomfort for those suffering from agophobia and odontophobia. Through an innovative computerized anesthesia system (Wand-Sta System), the anesthetic delivery occurs in total absence of pain, at a controlled speed with constant flow and avoiding side effects such as numbness and tingling in the face, cheek and lips.

Piezosurgery

Piezosurgery is an advanced surgical instrument that allows you to perform operations more safely and precisely.

The special ultrasonic microvibrations of the original PIEZOSURGERY® technique cut the bone - and nothing else. No soft tissue is damaged, allowing you to work with a precision that not only facilitates the surgical act but, at the same time, also reduces post-operative discomfort for patients.

Micrometric cutting

PIEZOSURGERY ® allows a micrometric cut for minimally invasive surgery with maximum precision and intra-operative sensitivity.

Selective cutting

PIEZOSURGERY ® protects any type of soft tissue. No nerves, blood vessels or membranes will be damaged during the cutting of the bone. In fact, PIEZOSURGERY® offers maximum safety for both surgeons and patients.

Cavitation effect

PIEZOSURGERY® offers maximum intra-operative visibility. The cavitation effect of the saline solution leads to a bleeding-free surgical site.

Benefits for the patient

• Soft tissue is protected, for example in sinus lift surgery with lateral approach, the risk of membrane perforation is reduced by more than 80%
• Less swelling following interventions with PIEZOSURGERY®
• Faster and better osseointegration following implant site preparation with PIEZOSURGERY®
• Faster and less traumatic post-operative healing

Clinical indications

• Sinus lift technique – crestal approach
• Sinus lift technique – lateral approach
• Implant site preparation
• Mini dental implant site preparation
• Extractions
• Implant removal
• Ridge expansion
• Corticotomy techniques
• Block bone grafting
• Particulate bone grafting
• Bone remodeling
• Endodontic surgery
• Osteotomy near nerves
• Periodontal surgery
• cleaning implants
