Expert Teaching Faculty
Professor Luigi Nibali
Professor Nibali is a UK-registered Specialist in Periodontics and the Director of the Postgraduate Periodontology Program at King’s College London, UK. He also leads the Centre for Host-Microbiome Interactions, where his research explores how genetics and the oral microbiome contribute to periodontal disease. After earning his MSc and PhD at UCL’s Eastman Dental Institute with a doctoral focus on the genetics of aggressive periodontitis, he continued his academic career at Queen Mary University of London before joining King’s in 2019. His research team has developed the concepts of "infectogenomics" and "genetic dysbiosis," shedding light on the interaction between microbial triggers and host response.
Prof Nibali has published extensively in periodontal and medical journals and authored two textbooks on periodontal therapy and dysbiosis. His contributions to the field have earned him prestigious awards such as the Fish Prize from the British Society of Periodontology and the Socransky Award from the International Association for Dental Research. He serves on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Dental Research and the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. Clinically, he focuses on the management of complex periodontal cases, including deep intrabony defects and advanced furcation involvement. He is known for his evidence-based approach and dedication to high-quality, minimally invasive care.
Professor Roberto Rotundo
Professor Rotundo is the Head of the Department of Periodontology at the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele in Milan, Italy and is registered as a Specialist in Periodontics in the UK. He has trained postgraduate students in periodontology at prestigious institutions including the Eastman Dental Institute (UCL) and King’s College London. A long-standing active member of the Italian Society of Periodontology and Implantology, he is widely respected for his expertise in mucogingival and aesthetic soft tissue surgery. Prof Rotundo has also played a key role in advancing periodontal education in Europe and beyond through lectures, clinical training, and curriculum development.
With over 100 scientific publications in leading Italian and international journals, Prof Rotundo’s work has significantly influenced the field of reconstructive periodontal surgery. He has received multiple accolades, including awards from the Swiss Society of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology’s Jaccard Prize. His main clinical interests include soft tissue augmentation around teeth and implants, aesthetic crown lengthening, and the use of hyaluronic acid in periodontal regeneration. Through his teaching and private courses, he has helped thousands of clinicians refine their surgical techniques and achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes.
