I feel like hopeless teeth due to periodontal involvement were extracted by me, now I got the vision after attending Dr. Cortellini's advanced periodontics course to try to save those teeth. It was rejuvenating experience to stay forever in practice, I am 70 years old and have been practicing for 40 years.
