Welcome to another inspiring episode of the gIDE Unlocked Podcast, hosted by Dr. Sascha Jovanovic from the gIDE Institute in Los Angeles.
Today's guest is world-renowned Italian innovator Dr. Tomaso Vercellotti, the pioneer of Piezosurgery® and creator of the Wedge Implant System — two innovations that have transformed modern implant and bone surgery.
In this conversation, Dr. Jovanovic and Dr. Vercellotti explore how microsurgical precision, minimally invasive techniques, and ultrasonic bone surgery are redefining implant dentistry, bone regeneration, and patient comfort. They dive into the science of ultrasonic energy, osteoblast stimulation, and the biological rationale behind atraumatic surgical control that enhances healing, reduces pain, and improves long-term outcomes.
The evolution and core principles of Piezosurgery®
How ultrasonic vibration stimulates osteoblasts and fibroblasts for superior healing
Why microsurgery and minimal trauma reduce swelling, pain, and postoperative complications
The biological foundation of Wedge Implant Design and how it differs from traditional screw implants
Strategies to prevent peri-implantitis through atraumatic, tissue-preserving approaches
The role of soft-tissue thickness and flap management in maintaining crestal bone stability
How innovation, curiosity, and collaboration continue to shape the next generation of implant dentistry
This episode is a deep dive into the art and science of surgical innovation — where engineering, biology, and clinical mastery come together to improve patient outcomes and surgical precision.
🎥 Watch the full episode for a master-level discussion on how the future of implantology lies in biologic respect, minimal invasiveness, and technological precision.
