This is a unique 2-day course for clinicians who wish to have an in-depth knowledge about the methodologies to process human teeth for light microscopy and researchers who want to perform histologic analysis of teeth and their surrounding structures in relation to clinical research. Its main purpose is to give the fundamental bases on the methodology of histologic research applied to the study of pulp and periapical disease, so that participants be familiar with "reading" histologic images.

Attendees will learn the protocols to obtain biopsies and to process the specimens for conventional light microscopy.

Calabria is a land of sparkling turquoise waters, endless green mountains and charming medieval villages. With a rich history back to Byzantine conquerors, Calabria is the 'toe' of Italy's boot, just waiting to be discovered. Cetraro - home town of Dr. Ricucci - is a town and comune in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of southern Italy. Cetraro beachside area is about 100 m large and some kilometers long, and it lies between two promontories. At the foot of the North promontory, a cliff emerges, while south, among small beaches and high rocks, some caves are suggestively grouped and they are referred to as Cave of Colonne and Cave of Rizzo. You will love it for sure!

Dr. Domenico Ricucci received his degree in General Medicine from "La Sapienza" University of Rome in 1982, and his DDS from the same University in 1985. Since then on he has maintained private dental practices limited to endodontics. He served in the Research Committee of the European Society of Endodontology from 1999 to 2005. Since 1998 he has run his own histology laboratory and his primary research interest relates to pulpal and periapical tissue reactions to caries and treatment procedures, biofilms in endodontic infections, etiology of RTC treatment failure, pulp regeneration / revascularization.

Dr Ricucci has published 112 papers and has lectured both nationally and internationally. He has authored the Textbook and Atlas "Patologia e Clinica Endodontica", the textbook and atlas "Endodontology. An integrated biological and clinical view", also translated into Chinese, Russian, Japanese. He has also authored or co-authored 22 book chapters.
