In the world of dentistry, the Polydentia brand is inextricably linked with the Style Italiano group—an international community of top clinicians who essentially “create the fashion” for modern restoration. If you see a lecturer holding a Unica matrix or myWedge wedges, they’re likely either a member of this club or work according to their protocols.
Here are the key names to look out for:
1. Style Italiano Stars (Global Level)
These individuals are involved in the development of Polydentia products and are the first to showcase them at global congresses:
- Jordi Manauta: A key figure. He is the mastermind and developer of the Unica Anterior system. If you’re studying anterior restoration techniques using these matrices, you’re studying Manauta’s protocols.
- Angelo Putignano and Walter Devoto: Founders of Style Italiano. They implemented the philosophy of “fast, simple, and beautiful,” where Polydentia instruments act as “smart assistants.”
- Anna Salat and Giuseppe Chiodera: Frequently demonstrate clinical cases using Polydentia sectional systems (e.g., myQuickmat Forte).
2. Renowned specialists in the CIS and Russia
In our region, the brand is actively promoted through training centers (e.g., S.T.I. dent), and lecturers specializing in “high aesthetics” work with it:
- Roman Karpenko: One of the most prominent supporters and lecturers, who thoroughly discusses working with Polydentia matrix systems in his courses on artistic restoration.
- Alexander Kozhemyak: A renowned lecturer on posterior restoration. He often uses the brand’s accessories to create tight contact points.
- Ivan Ruzin: Frequently mentions instruments for isolating and fixing matrices in the context of modern adhesive protocols.
- Alexander Apokin: Author of the #RSBC clinical protocol and creator of the polydentia.online platform. Specializes in high-tech video recording (HDR) and expert analysis of the brand’s tools in daily practice.
3. Why do “stars” choose them?
For renowned lecturers, working with Polydentia isn’t just marketing, but solving specific pain points:
- Unica System: Allows for simultaneous restoration of proximal and cervical surfaces, which is critical for one-step demonstration cases.
- myWedge wedges: They are loved for their ergonomics and the fact that they don’t fall out at the most inopportune moment under a microscope.
- Swiss origin: For top clinicians, this guarantees that the ring will not loosen after the fifth sterilization, and the matrix will retain its anatomical memory.
