Dr. Brugnami graduated cum Laude from the University of Rome "La Sapienza" in 1991. In 1995, he obtained the Certificate in Advanced Periodontics, with specialisation in periodontology and implant surgery from the Department of Periodontology at Tufts University in Boston. Dr. Brugnami was among the first European dentists to obtain the Status of American Board of Periodontology and Implant Surgery.
He is an experienced periodontist with more than 25 years of practice, always striving for excellence in treating all types of periodontal problems including the replacement of missing teeth with dental implants. This includes managing complex cases that may sometimes require bone grafting and bone regeneration procedures.
Since the end of the 1990s, Dr Brugnami has been using a surgical procedure developed in the USA to improve and shorten orthodontic treatment. This procedure is called Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics or PAOO or Wilckodontics and involves a bone stimulation that can reduce the time of orthodontic therapy in most patients to less than one year. It should be noted that the main advantage of this technique is the possibility of obtaining, in cases where a deficit was present, an increase in bone and gum tissue in order to minimise the risk of future gum recession and to obtain a more stable result of orthodontic therapy.
Dr. Brugnami is one of the few European dentists to be a certified Wilckodontics practitioner, and he is a leader in this technique in Europe and beyond. His high reputation in the field was recognized when the prestigious publishing house Wiley Blackwell asked Dr. Brugnami to be the author of the first text ever published on this subject. The book was published at the end of 2014, has been translated into several languages and has sold more than 1000 copies.

One can catch Legionnaires' disease even at the dentist's office, following a routine dental treatment. In fact, the Legionella pneumophilia bacterium that can cause pneumonia can nest in the water circuit of the dental chair and spread through the aerosol released by the taps and instruments.
For this reason we use a closed-circuit sterile water system to ward off legionella and other bacteria and viruses. We have eliminated the obsolete spittoon and use disposable or autoclavable suction systems.
Our W&H autoclave, of the latest generation, generates an electronic test after each sterilization cycle that is fully traceable: every single sterilization procedure is automatically digitally recorded.
