After attending numerous lectures and presenting several cases completed in our office Dr. Gialanella presented his final case, a full mouth rehabilitation that he performed for a patient of his practice. This lecture marked the end of the course of study through OBI and placed Dr. Gialanella in an elite group of less than four hundred dentists worldwide that have completed this training.
