In this episode, Dr. Edgard El Chaar sits down with two rising specialists in periodontics, Dr. Cinzia Dinoi and Dr. Anamaria Castillo, to discuss their journeys into dentistry and what inspired them to pursue periodontal surgery.

From international training experiences to mission work that revealed the life-changing impact of dental care, both doctors share the pivotal moments that led them to choose dentistry—and ultimately specialize in periodontics.

The conversation explores:

• Why they chose dentistry instead of traditional medicine

• How personal experiences shaped their career paths

• The unique intersection of medicine, surgery, and dentistry in periodontics

• The importance of mentorship in shaping young clinicians

• What defines the next generation of dental specialists

Dr. Dinoi reflects on her international journey from Canada to Italy and ultimately to the United States, while Dr. Castillo shares how her family background in medicine and mission experiences influenced her path into healthcare.

Together, they offer insight into how the next generation of specialists is redefining patient care, mentorship, and the future of dentistry.

For students, dentists, and anyone interested in the evolving world of dental medicine, this conversation offers a thoughtful look into the values, discipline, and purpose behind modern periodontics.
