Biography
The activity, the results, the success
A short profile
Professor Danilo Di Stefano has been working in the Dental field for more than 30 years. Today, he’s committed exclusively to oral and implant surgery, with a specific focus on pre-implant reconstructive surgery. He operates in an advanced dental clinic in Milan: the Civitali Dental and Prosthetic Centre.
He collaborates actively with several Italian Universities. In 2018 he obtained the title of Associate professor in Odontostomatological diseases. He is currently Contract Professor of Oral Surgery at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele Milan University.
Over the years, he has promoted several ventures aimed to spread dental knowledge. He completes his clinical activity by participating as a speaker to international and national congresses. He was the first founder of dental journals that have later become a reference in the field, like the “Giornale dell’Odontoiatra”, “Italian Oral Surgery” and “Implantologia Orale”. He has an intense publishing activity and authored very well-known specialized books, published by the most eminent Publishing companies (Elsevier, Utet). Since 2021 he is scientific Reviewer of the international journal Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - MPRS - Publisher: Springer.
Promoting scientific and cultural events, Professor Di Stefano is – since 1990 – councilor of the Cenacolo Odonstomatologico Milanese. He is Treasurer and Member of the Board of supervisor of one of the most important Italian Dental Scientific Societies, the Italian Academy of Osseintegration (IAO). He is member of the Social Committee of S.I.d.C.O, honorary member of S.I.S.C.O.O. and member of the European Board of Oral Surgery.
Dental Clinical Activity
The beating heart
The patient deserves the best, every single day
The beating heart is here. Competence, surgical skills, the desire of learning new surgical techniques would serve no purpose without the passion for the patient, who simply deserves the best.
Di Stefano practices prosthetic and implant rehabilitation at the highest levels, improving continuously his skills also through the yearlong collaboration with the Dental Clinic at the San Raffaele Hospital.
He favors implant surgeries especially if requiring bone regeneration, a field where his is a reference both in Italy and abroad.
Contributing to knowledge
Providing excellence to patients
by advancing knowledge
Passion for a deeper understanding, innate curiosity and a strong will of contributing to Dental research lead to an incessant publishing activity. The number of articles on national and international journals increases every year.
By adding our little contribution to clinical knowledge, we hope to stimulate a positive debate, and to give our colleagues in search for reliable reference useful tools to provide patients with ever-improving clinical care.
Industry Relations
Business ideas
The added value of experience
The knowledge developed through clinical experience and deeply explored by means of scientific research often finds its completion in the added value from the experience of companies willing to invest in innovative products.
Professor Di Stefano has dedicated many years of his life, his wit and his professional skills to a number of industrial initiatives that have contributed to the advancement of technology and knowledge in the field of dentistry.
Speaker at major conferences, is part of the vanguard of the industry and professional animator of research groups able to contribute positively to the success of business ideas.

Patient's smile
The Patient’s Smile
mirrors competence
The Patient’s Smile is the aim of any clinical effort. It may be the smile of a person who has recovered the look he/she had, or of someone simply able to eat again. The smile of someone who has solved a problem and has nothing more to worry about. The smile of someone who feels again being in safe hands.
A clinical case speaks to the expert. A smile speaks to the Patient: never let smile leave practice.
