HeartGuideDentistry
HeartGuideDentistry, is the contraction of Heart Guided Dentistry, and was initially born as a Facebook group created by Dr. Mauro Libertucci. The group is conceived as a platform where all dentists can discuss with each other publishing and/or commenting on solved clinical cases that show actual treatments. These can be based on personal knowledge and they are appreciated both when therapies meets current literary reccomendations but also, and above all, when they do it less or not at all.
At a time when only what is scientifically proven can be offered as therapy to patients, there is a real risk that the same protocols, often rigid, will not allow specialists to improve procedures using intuition managed by their hearts.
