OREC
Oral Reconstruction and Education Center (O.R.E.C.) is a training center developed to assure high standard education in Periodontology and Implant Surgery. The Center is equipped with the most advanced technologies. We give lectures and courses, including live surgeries, for participants from all over the world.
The courses offered in OREC are held by Dr. Giorgio Tabanella.
He is the Scientific Coordinator of the International Implant Conference and reviewer and author of original articles published in peer-reviewed journals such as the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants, Journal of American Dental Association, Journal of Inflammation, World Journal of Stomatology, Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research.

Dr. Giorgio Tabanella
Dr. Tabanella is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, Active Member of the Italian Academy of Esthetic Dentistry and author of the book “Retreatment of failures in dental medicine”. He graduated from the University of Southern California-Los Angeles-USA where he obtained the Certificate in Periodontics as well as the Master of Science in Craniofacial Biology. He was awarded “Outstanding Periodontal Researcher In Surgery And Implantology” by the California Society of Periodontists for his study on bone remodeling. He is the Scientific Coordinator of the International Implant Conference, Director of O.R.E.C.-Oral Reconstruction and Education Center (WWW.TABANELLAOREC.COM), and reviewer and author of original articles published in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Tabanella lectures in Europe, Asia, Middle East, South Africa as well as in the US on implant and periodontal surgery, aesthetic management in dental implant and periodontal therapy, peri-implant bone remodeling, soft and hard tissue reconstruction around natural teeth and implants as well as the re-treatment of failures. His research focuses on tissue regeneration and augmentation with different bone and soft graft materials, peri-implant and dental bone loss, novel protocols for the repair of ailing dental implants. He maintains a private practice in Rome, Italy where he also holds advanced courses and live surgeries on tissue regeneration and re-treatment of implant failures for a limited numbers of participants.
American Board of Periodontology
An internationally renowned speaker, Dr.Tabanella is one of the few specialists in Italy to have received the title of “Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology”, the most prestigious award in the world in Periodontology and Implantology’s field.
