In 1992 he developed an easy-to-use postural platform “ScanPosture®” for an immediate differential diagnosis, to be used by the Dentists for a gnathologic evaluation of their patients. In 1993, he developed a new tooth-implant design for a correct distribution of occlusal loads between natural abutments and fixtures which has been subject matter of research and verification through simulation with computer-finished elements. This study was made in cooperation with the Faculty of Engineering, University of Genoa, and with the contribution of two Engineers who received their Research Doctorate in "Computational Analysis of Structures" and "Structural Engineering", respectively, from the "Construction Theory Institute". In 1988 he devised an original system to be applied to a semi-individual articulator, based on Monson's theory for the individual definition of occlusal plane compensation curves “Calottometer®”. This system was developed over the years and realized in 1995 in cooperation with the firm Girrbach-Artex, Pforzheim, Germany, a world leader in the sector of articulators.
