Speaker
Dr. Francesca Vailati, after receiving her medical degree from the University of Bari (Italy) in 1996, Dr. Vailati left Europe to pursue her dental education in the United States.
In 2000 she received her dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania (USA) and in 2003 earned a certificate in Prosthodontics along with an M.S.D. degree from the University of Connecticut (USA).
Upon her return to Europe in 2004, she joined the department of Fixed Prosthodontics headed by Prof. Urs Belser at the University of Geneva (Switzerland), until 2020.
Dr. Vailati maintains a part-time private practice in Geneva, dedicated rehabilitation of worn down dentitions, using adhesive Prosthodontics and ADDITIVE Dentistry.
She has developed a protocol, the 3STEP technique, which allows clinicians to face full-mouth rehabilitation in a more predictable manner. Finally, Dr. Vailati has created her own Academy, the 3STEP Academy, with different centers around Europe. Its main location, however, remains Milan, Italy, where theoretical-practical courses are held on Additive Prosthodontics and functional rehabilitation of patients affected by erosion and dysfunction.
