He graduated with a DDS from the University of Messina in 2015, earning honors for his thesis titled "Clinical Differences Between Implants Placed in Native Bone and Implants Placed in Regenerated Bone." Demonstrating an early commitment to excellence, he furthered his expertise by completing a Second Level Annual Master’s in "Complex Oral Rehabilitations" at the University of Catania, also with honors, in 2017. Since 2018, he has served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Messina (Italy), where he teaches Rehabilitative Dentistry, sharing his extensive knowledge and clinical experience with students and colleagues. In 2019, recognizing the importance of surgical proficiency, he began specializing in Oral Surgery at the University of Luigi Vanvitelli in Naples, continually enhancing his surgical skills and technical expertise. He earned a PhD in Bioengineering Applied to Medical Sciences from the University of Messina in 2022, which has significantly broadened his research capabilities. His work in bioengineering, combined with his dental background, exemplifies his multi-disciplinary research approach, integrating principles from engineering, biology, and medicine to develop innovative solutions in oral health. Throughout his career, he has made substantial contributions to the field through numerous scientific publications on oral medicine and dental materials in high-impact international journals, often cited by his peers. An expert in bibliometrics, he is the creator of the fi-index, the fi-score, and the fi-index tool, which are innovative bibliometric indexes and methods for evaluating research impact. His leadership and expertise are further reflected in his roles on the Editorial Board and as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Dentistry and Multidisciplinary Sciences. Additionally, he has actively presented his research at numerous prominent national and international congresses and scientific gatherings. These engagements have allowed him to engage with the global dental and scientific communities, fostering meaningful collaboration across diverse disciplines. His efforts have significantly contributed to advancing the frontiers of dental research through a comprehensive multi-disciplinary approach, promoting innovation and knowledge exchange on a broader scale.
