Occlusal Trauma Does Not Prevent Periodontal Healing
Lindhe and Ericsson (1976) demonstrate that occlusal trauma does not impair healing after periodontal surgery, provided plaque is removed.
Bonebenders
An evidence-based blog on periodontology, implantology and oral surgery. Dr. Ernesto Bruschi — dentist in Frosinone, Italy — shares clinical cases, bone regeneration techniques and science-driven protocols. Plus biology, pharmacology, history of medicine and the connections between oral and systemic health.
"Rare are those who use their mind, few those who use their heart, unique those who use both." — Rita Levi Montalcini
Dr. Ernesto Bruschi
I learned oral surgery watching my father's hands — Prof. Giovanni Battista Bruschi. Periodontology I studied with Jan Lindhe and Jan Wennström, in Sweden. In the United States, Ronald Odrich and Frank Celenza Jr. taught me that surgical and prosthetic precision is a form of respect for the patient.
Thirty years on, I still do the same thing. I do surgery. I study. I try to understand why bone heals one way and not another.
Behind every smile there is a person's personal story. Behind every bone and soft tissue defect, a biology worth understanding. This blog is my way of sharing what I see under the microscope and in the operating room — with colleagues and with patients who want to understand.
