Paul Fugazzotto, DDS

Dr. Paul Fugazzotto received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from New York University in 1979, and his Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Periodontics from Boston University in 1981. He has been a visiting lecturer at numerous universities, including Tufts University, Harvard University, Case Western University. He also lectured in Italy at Chieti University & University of Ancona.

Dr. Fugazzotto has over 30 years of experience with bone regeneration
(both on teeth and in preparation for implant placement) and dental implant therapy, having placed well over 40,000 implants. He has published extensively on these subjects in scientific journals. Dr. Fugazzotto is the director of the Institute for Comprehensive Implant Therapy & Esthetics (Fugazzotto Institute), where training courses are taught to dentists from the United States and around the world on the most up to date techniques regarding dental implant placement and bone regeneration.

Dr. Fugazzotto has authored three textbooks, including “Decision Making in Implant & Regenerative Therapy” as well as numerous other textbook chapters. He is a fellow of the International Team for Implantology (ITI). Fellowship in the ITI is by election only. Dr. Fugazzotto is the past national director of the US ITI Study Clubs, and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Implant Realities.

Dr.Fugazzotto is the 2026 Program Chairman for the Academy of Osseointegration’s International Meeting in Washington, D.C.
