He focuses his instruction on new techniques, materials, and technology, ensuring that both he and his students are working with the most current information available. According to Dr. Ciampi, "The diverse atmosphere of the clinic allows me to address this wide spectrum of skills and technology."</p><p>In addition to his position as an instructor, the New Jersey cosmetic dentist appreciates the chance to work with other professors, clinical associates, and professional peers. He says the atmosphere of camaraderie at the clinic allows knowledge to be shared and is beneficial to students and instructors alike. However, the students are Dr. Ciampi's primary focus at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Dental Medicine: "I thoroughly enjoy interacting with the young dental students. They are the next generation of professionals that will emerge into the field and I am continually impressed by their willingness to learn as well as their insight into dental pathology."
