Chi lavora tanto diventa veramente bravo <Questo messaggio è stato modificato>

I disagree. 🤔 Having been around for a few years, I remember unlicensed practitioners who worked extremely hard, but I would not call them skilled. Mine was an affectionate joke, because I noticed how late Andrea was still replying to me on WhatsApp. If I may add, clinical skill is one thing, but Andrea’s sensitivity and courtesy are difficult to find even among highly skilled colleagues.

Mah🤔 dissento. Avendo qualche primavera sulle spalle ricordo Abusivi che lavoravano tantissimo ma dire che erano bravi.... La mia era una battuta affettuosa perché ho visto a che ora riusciva a rispondermi su WA. Se posso aggiungere la bravura clinica è una cosa ma è difficile trovare nei colleghi "bravi" la sensibilità e la cortesia di Andrea.

How many millimetres of residual bone were present?

Fatto in quanti mm residui?

↳ Reply

There were 3 mm at the first-molar site, where Elevate was used. At the second-molar site, Andrea used a sinus septum and performed bone shaping with Black Ruby only. Site 17: 4.3 × 8 mm; site 16: 4.3 × 6 mm.

Considerable risks! A beautiful result nonetheless.

Bei rischi! Comunque bello

I would not describe it as risky; everything was performed in a highly controlled manner. He was genuinely excellent. I was somewhat concerned because I had previously displaced an implant into the sinus, but Andrea’s clinical command and overall knowledge of the field impressed me.

Rischi non direi fatto tutto molto in controllo. Davvero bravo. Lì ero un po' preoccupato perché avevo già sparato nel seno un impianto. Ma devo dire che sono rimasto impressionato dalla padronanza clinica e dalla conoscenza generale della materia di Andrea.

I would say that this requires extensive experience; it is not for everyone.

Direi che ci va molta esperienza non è per tutti
