Intraoral bone defects comprise clinical conditions caused by different factors, which are pathological, traumatic and iatrogenic. The search for regenerative methods and biomaterials that promote the resolution of bone defects and the restoration of oral functional and aesthetic conditions are fundamental for the maintenance of the health and well-being of the population. The present stu…
Over the past decades obesity has been increasing worldwide and represents a major risk factor for many chronic diseases. Meta-analyses have demonstrated that obesity is also associated with periodontitis, a bacteria-induced inflammatory disease of the tooth-supporting tissues. Obesity is characterized by excess adipose tissue, which secrets bioactive molecules called adipokines. Although…
With a high success ratio observed by the use of implants (97%), the development of new alloys and surface treatments has been the main objective in the Implantology research area. Periodontal tissue responses towards these modifications are determinant for implant integration with the human body. The proposition of this study is characterize a new titanium-molybdenum alloy with different…
Several studies have been conducted to understand distinctly the effects of periodontal diseases and of orthodontic movements on the periodontal tissues. But the effects of both processes presented together have not been fully elucidated. The aim of these in vitro and in vivo studies is to investigate the interactions of microbial and biomechanical signals on models that mimic the influe…

Intraoral bone defects comprise clinical conditions caused by different factors, including periodontitis and peri-implantitis. These are chronic inflammatory diseases associated with dysbiosis of the oral microbiota, which affect periodontal and peri-implant tissues, resulting in progressive loss of supporting bone. The use of natural products for the treatment of intraoral pathological c…
Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic, multifactorial inflammatory disease associated with the presence of a dysbiotic biofilm that leads to progressive loss of periodontal support tissues. Studies demonstrate how the endocannabinoid system and its receptors (CB) respond to immune responses and can be modulated in emotional situations, such as PD. Osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) and its p…
The present study aims to evaluate the pro-osteogenic effects of the phytocystatins CsinCPI-2 and CaneCPI-5, through in vitro and in vivo studies. Specifically, the in vitro study will assess the modulating impact of phytocystatins on the response of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and on the osteoblastic differentiation of primary undifferentiated mouse bone marrow mesenchy…
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease, mediated and modulated by the host, caused by the presence of a dysbiotic biofilm in close contact with the gingival tissues. When left untreated, periodontitis leads to the destruction of the supporting tissues of the tooth, which can culminate in the loss of dental elements. The administration of natural compounds as a complementary thera…
The clinical failure of dental implants can occur due to inadequate osseointegration. Poor osseointegration induces mobility, inflammation, and bone resorption, leading to treatment failure. Due to systemic challenges related to insufficiency and/or poor quality of peri-implant bone tissue, which can compromise osseointegration, the development of titanium surfaces with an osteogenic and …
Osteoporosis is an osteometabolic disease, characterized by a reduction in bone mass in long bones and vertebrae, which occurs due to a decrease in estrogen levels, especially in postmenopausal women. Recently, a new drug based on an anti-sclerostin antibody (Scl-Ab) was approved for postmenopausal osteoporosis treatment. Its mechanism of action corresponds to an increase in the activity …

Mucogingival surgeries are widely used in Periodontology and Implantology to improve aesthetics and gingival health. Soft tissue grafting has emerged as an effective technique for these purposes, helping to restore gingival contour and thickness, especially around dental implants and in areas of gingival recession. Minimally invasive graft techniques have attracted attention due to their …
Dental implants with osteogenic potential loaded with Calcium (Ca) and Strontium (Sr) may be promising to modulate bone turnover towards osteogenesis and accelerate osseointegration. In this sense, the candidate's master's project, supported by FAPESP - process 2022/08006-7, is dedicated to evaluate the effect of the addition of Ca, Sr and osteogenic biomolecules - dexamethasone, ascorbic…
Surface treatments, development of new alloys and functionalization of implant surfaces with bioactive elements have been the objective of recent studies in the area of implant dentistry aiming to contribute to the process of osseointegration. The functionalization of the titanium surface with strontium can be performed by different methods. The purpose of this study is to compare, in vit…
Additive manufacturing is currently receiving significant attention in the field of tissue engineering and biomaterial science. The development of precise, affordable 3-dimensionally printing technologies has provided a new platform for novel research to be undertaken in 3D scaffold design and fabrication. Thus, the aim of this study will be to evaluate porcine bone marrow-derived progeni…
