Enrico Gherlone: Teaching activity
Enrico Gherlone's teaching activity began very early on, already when he was enrolled in the School of Specialization in Odontostomatology he was giving lectures at the newly established Degree Course in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics in special odontostomatological pathology.
It was at that time (1982) that the Dental Clinic in Genoa, then headed by Prof. Silvestrini, sent him for a period of study and to give a course of lectures at the Complutense University of Madrid by Prof. Lucas Tomas, an internationally renowned oral pathologist. These lectures were about preparation techniques in aesthetic prosthetics without metal support.
After completing his postgraduate school of dentistry and dental prosthetics, the then Dr Gherlone was given several assignments as an adjunct professor at the Degree Course in Dentistry and was later entrusted with the official teaching of Prosthetics at the Postgraduate School of Dentistry.
During the same period, Prof Ciancaglini entrusted him with a teaching contract in prosthetics at the State University of Milan, which at the time had an agreement with San Raffaele.
Also from those years are several post-graduate teaching assignments at specialization courses in both Genoa and Milan.
When he became head physician at San Raffaele, he was given a contract by the Vita e Salute University to teach Dental Clinic at the degree course in Medicine and Surgery (a position he still holds today as a tenured professor), and in those years up to the present there have been many post-graduate courses he has conducted to train colleagues, especially in the prosthetic and implant-prosthetic field.
He became associate professor first and full professor later, and in 2005 he was the promoter of the Degree Course in Dental Hygiene.
In 2010, at the encouragement of the founder of San Raffaele Don Luigi Verzè, he was the promoter of the Degree Course in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics, for which he is chairman and coordinator of the technical planning committee.
