Participation as a speaker in numerous meetings in Greece and Europe on the above mentioned topics.
PRIVATE PRACTICE
Since 1997 until today I maintain private practice in Athens, limited to Prosthodontics and Orofacial pain. Because of the combination of these two specialties I m treating mostly full mouth restorations tooth supported and also implant supported, were the treatment position needs to be established prior the dental treatment. Another topic of interest is Bruxism and implant rehabilitation and occlusion on implant prosthesis.
Another field of special interest for me is anterior esthetics. Porcelain veneers, all ceramic crowns and soft tissue management for single anterior implant restorations are every day practice.
Beside the prosthodontics rehabilitation mentioned above, a big percentage of my practice consists of TMJ patients with pain and dysfunction symptoms, which we treat with different kinds of intraoral appliances, physiotherapy and pharmacologic approach.
Most of my cases are well documented with intraoral pictures taken preoperatively, during treatment and at the time of final cementation of the restorations. I use these pictures during lecturing, for presentations at meetings and of course are available for anyone wishing to see them.
