October is the month of dental prevention: more and more under 40s resort to implants for various reasons such as illnesses, periodontitis, traumas, accidents but also bad habits such as smoking and stress.
Furthermore, gingival inflammation is a cause of worsening of the outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection. This is highlighted by a recent publication in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology that investigated the effects of periodontitis in patients affected by Covid-19: gingival inflammation worsens the outcomes of the disease.
The largest epidemiological research ever carried out in Italy, conducted by the Universities of Milan and Bern on a sample of 30 thousand Italians, shows a worsening of oral health conditions and habits regarding prevention.
The president of Andi (National Association of Italian Dentists) raises the alarm: “The over 18 months of pandemic have had a strong negative impact on the habits of Italians in terms of prevention and care, including oral health: about a third of Italians have turned to their dentist only for “emergencies” compared to just over a quarter of visits for routine check-ups. A percentage that in the south exceeds 40%, demonstrating how the health emergency due to Covid-19 has significantly penalized access to prevention and dental care, also due to the economic crisis”.
This and other topics related to the sector will be discussed at the «Clinica Sansone - Center of Excellence in Implantology», Saturday 9 October at 19.30:56 pm in via Poggio Sant'Antonio XNUMX/O Torre del Greco (NA): the event will be a real scientific-artistic format where doctors and celebrities will team up to convey a message that arrives like a ray of sunshine after the dark periods of the pandemic: the value of smiling.
“Periodontitis is the disease of the century,” says Michele Mareschi, hygienist, “and 70% of the Italian population is affected by it. Unfortunately, it is a silent disease, so when there are symptoms, such as mobility and bleeding, it is already too late. You should visit the dentist at least every 6 months. There are many causes: poor oral hygiene, unhealthy habits, bad occlusion, heredity and bacterial plaque accumulation.”
The advantages of computer-guided implantology
Safety and predictability in implantology are the winning combination of the initiative, where interventions are planned virtually on the computer before being carried out. The Sansone Clinic, which has very few peers in Campania, is much more than a dental practice: it is a cutting-edge center equipped with highly technological and futuristic instruments both for surgical interventions and for anti-Covid safety.
Minimally invasive implant technology is the latest frontier in dentistry that allows immediate loading dental prostheses to be implanted without using a scalpel to cut the gum mucosa and without suturing at the end of the procedure. Using cutting-edge machinery using digital flow (CAD/CAM technology), 3D anatomical images of the patient are modeled from which highly defined and personalized prostheses are produced to be implanted with a laparoscopic technique, accessing only with microscopic flowers. In complete safety with both biological and aesthetic advantages.
A unique center of its kind: 200 square meters dedicated to the smile, 2 surgical rooms for implantology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, 4 operating units for patients. Sansone has chosen for the instruments the world leaders in Implantology such as Straumann and Nobel Biocare.
"Dental tourism with the escape abroad to get interventions at increasingly rock-bottom prices - explains Giovanni Sansone - is a real alarm. With the Covid crisis, then, more and more people are relying on these clinics to save money, but it can be very dangerous. First of all because of the use of materials of unknown origin, then because after the intervention there is a need for checks and periodic assistance that Italian doctors do not guarantee to those who have relied on these clinics".
Torre del Greco - The sidewalks near the historic center of Torre del Greco were becoming an illegal dumping ground for inert materials and hazardous waste. This eco-criminal act was ignored by the intensified enforcement ordered by the municipal administration, led by Mayor Luigi Mennella and coordinated by the municipal police command headed by...
More than thirty years after the last systematic research, Villa Sora, in the municipality of Torre del Greco, once again offers new insights into the life and architecture of one of the most important seaside villas in the Gulf of Naples. Archaeological investigations begun in November 2025 by the Herculaneum Archaeological Park are revealing previously unexplored spaces and precious decorative elements, suggesting a complex history interrupted by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The new research focused on the villa's northeastern façade, where a room measuring just ten square meters revealed walls decorated with a dark background, bands of red cinnabar, herons surrounding a gilded candelabra, and a ceiling adorned with garlands, friezes, and mythological figures, including griffins and a moving centaur. Fragments of white marble capitals, finely decorated lead cistae, and other architectural elements clearly indicate the existence of an active construction site at the time of the catastrophe, transforming the room into a storage area for materials destined for ongoing construction projects.
Torre del Greco - A twelve-year-old girl was struck by a minor on a moped at a pedestrian crossing: she was taken to Santobono Hospital in Naples. A serious accident occurred this morning, around 8:00 a.m., in Torre del Greco. A 12-year-old girl was struck while crossing the street at a pedestrian crossing by a minor on a moped.
