DENTISTRY IN ROME
Dental implantology
Computer-assisted, flapless, and immediate-load implantology are modern, reliable, and minimally invasive techniques used by Franceschelli Dental Practice.
Dental implantology involves placing prosthetics, a screw, and an abutment into the maxillary or mandibular bone to replace the natural root of a missing tooth. Essentially, dental implantology consists of inserting prosthetics to replace the root of the missing tooth or teeth.
The titanium abutment is surgically inserted into the jawbone and serves as a stable support for the dental crown.
This application allows the tooth to be permanently recreated from its internal structure to its external appearance.
Conservative dentistry
Conservative dentistry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of tooth decay, preserving the natural dental structure. Using advanced techniques and high-quality materials, this field aims to restore the function and aesthetics of the damaged tooth, ensuring a healthy and lasting smile.
Modern conservative dentistry is based on the concept of minimally invasive procedures, which involve early diagnosis, removal of only the necessary amount of dental tissue, and replacement with aesthetic restorative materials.
These modern minimally invasive techniques minimise dental tissue removal and replace it with aesthetic materials, significantly increasing the durability of restorations. This approach not only reduces costs but also minimises discomfort and stress.
Prosthetics
Dental prosthetics are revolutionary solutions for those who have lost one or more teeth, ensuring a complete and functional smile. Options include:
- Fixed prosthetics, such as bridges and crowns, permanently cemented for lasting stability.
- Removable prosthetics, such as partial or full dentures, easily removable for effective cleaning.
- Implant-supported prosthetics, combining the strength of implants with the flexibility of prosthetics for long-term results.
In addition to improving aesthetics, dental prosthetics restore chewing functionality and maintain the alignment of remaining teeth, preventing future issues.

Oral hygiene
Proper oral hygiene is the most important and delicate aspect of dental therapy. Regular monitoring and professional dental hygiene practices carried out by a dentist or dental hygienist help maintain the condition of your teeth. Professional dental hygiene, often referred to as a "teeth cleaning," is a practical therapeutic procedure. It should be performed regularly to prevent cavities and the formation of plaque (tartar, smoking residues, and food particles). Maintaining oral health involves all its components: teeth, gum tissue, bone, and periodontal ligaments, with implications for both health and aesthetics. Oral hygiene is a crucial preventive measure against various conditions, akin to a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet.
Periodontology
Gingivitis is a common condition among many patients. Typically resulting from poor oral hygiene, it can cause bleeding, gum inflammation, and bad breath.
In some cases, gingivitis may also arise from external factors such as smoking, diabetes, or stress—situations that can weaken the patient’s immune defences, promoting bacterial growth. In severe cases, inflammation can progress to periodontitis, leading to plaque and tartar formation.
It takes only a few minutes to assess if there is a periodontal problem. Dental X-rays are not always necessary; a periodontal probe can provide a clear picture of the situation in just 10 minutes.
Subsequently, after several sessions of thorough dental cleaning, depending on the severity of the condition, Franceschelli Dental Practice uses conventional tools such as ultrasonic scalers, scaling, or gingival curettage to remove local tartar. Additionally, lasers are used as a non-surgical, painless method to eliminate bacteria causing periodontitis.
Prevention, care, and oral hygiene
Paediatric dentistry (Pedodontics) deals with the care and prevention of oral hygiene in children, from birth through adolescence.
It is essential to follow and guide children from a young age with preventive measures against cavities. If necessary, early detection and correction of functional issues are crucial. The paediatric dentist, or pedodontist, has specific professional, clinical, and psychological training aimed at establishing a trusting and collaborative relationship with the child, making the dental visit a pleasant experience, almost like a game.
Paediatric dentist
Paediatric dentistry has seen significant development in recent years, but not many practices focus on pedodontics and paediatric dentistry. A good paediatric dentist must possess a variety of skills and qualities to effectively assist the child, promote a positive attitude towards dental hygiene, and any necessary treatments.
Dr. Franceschelli’s experience and professionalism, along with her team of specialised doctors, dentists, and nurses, will ensure that the child feels comfortable through the use of appropriate and non-invasive techniques.
Sessions are planned to familiarise the child with the medical environment using suitable psychological approaches. The young patient will then be patiently taught basic oral hygiene techniques, from holding the toothbrush to daily repetition, up to the duration of the procedure.
