Il ruolo dell'odontoiatra nella medicina estetica: norme e indicazioni

In the last decade, there have been dramatic increase in both the supply and demand for Aesthetic Medicine interventions involving the face and the lips, but clear laws regulating the roles of dentists in this professional activity are lacking. In response to this situation, the presidency of the Italian Board of Dentists Board expressed its opinion on the lawfulness of such treatment by dentists in June 2010. The authors maintain that individuals holding graduate degrees in dentistry and prosthodontics from Italian universities are competent to perform Aesthetic Medicine treatments within the limits prescribed by the current law.
