Graduated in Dentistry from the University of São Paulo (FOUSP, 1980). She completed a Master's in the Oral Diagnosis Program (1989) and a PhD in the Oral Pathology Program (1993), both at FOUSP. She completed a research internship with a Capes Sandwich grant (1991-1993) and then a Post-Doctorate at the National Institutes of Health, NIH (1993-1994) in the United States with a grant from the Fogarty Foundation. Since 2011, she has been a Full Professor at FOUSP. She was coordinator of the Postgraduate Program in Dentistry/Dentistry at FOUSP and President of the Postgraduate Committee at FOUSP. Since 2012, she has been a guest professor at the Graduate Program Lasers in Dentistry at RWTH Aachen University in Germany, where she guides students and teaches the subject Low Level Laser Therapy. She coordinated the first International Doctorate (Dinter) in Brazil approved by Capes between FOUSP and the Faculty of Dentistry of the Central University of Ecuador (2016-2018). Since 2019, she has been a professor at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Ibirapuera University (UNIB) where she coordinates the UNIb Graduate Program. She belongs to the editorial board of national and international journals and is associate editor of the "Lasers in Dental Sciences", "laser international magazine of laser dentistry" and the Revista de la Facultad de Odontologia de la Universidad Central del Ecuador. She is a reviewer for several international journals and national funding agencies and international universities. Vice-President of the Executive Board of the International Society for Laser Dentistry (ISLD) and President of the Brazilian Association of Laser in Dentistry and Health (ABLOS). She is currently a member of the Capes Dentistry Evaluation Committee. She has experience in Dentistry, with emphasis on photobiomodulation therapy. She has worked mainly on the following topics: biological effects of laser, especially in tissue regeneration using stem cells from human dental pulps, and biocompatibility of dental materials, using in vitro research techniques based on cell culture and in vivo with laboratory animals.

The main objective of this project is to establish the Annual Plan for the Implementation of the Institutional Infrastructure Cost Research Installment, provided by FAPESP to Ibirapuera University (Fiscal 2019), derived from the 2018 projects. It is intended to strengthen and accelerate the development and implementation of the infrastructure for research projects supported by FAPESP. To …
The objective of this study will be to investigate the regeneration of bone lesions where the cell sheets (CSs) engineering will be applied associated with photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) and antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in rats presenting basic pathologies (Type 2 Diabetes mellitus) and in rats where the medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) will be induced …
Direct pulp capping materials are widely applied in the clinical practice in order to maintain the dental pulp vitality. They must be biocompatible and biostimulatory, it means, they must modulate the tissue response to injury. The calcium hydroxide (CH), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and the copaiba oil (Copaifera sp; COP) isolate present most biological characteristics of the ideal …

The aim of this study will be to prepare and to evaluate histologically the material obtained from the application of the engineering of cell membranes (cell sheets) associated with photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as treatments for the medication-trelated osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) induced in rats. The hypothesis of the study is that t…
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effectiveness of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the treatment of osteonecrosis lesions caused by zolendronate-induced antiresorptive medications and rat upper first molar extraction. The soft tissues of the lesion region will be evaluated by clinical observation and the hard tissues by digital radiographs. The study will be in vi…
Diabetes mellitus (DM) compromises bone repair, generating the need for new therapeutic strategies. One is based on Cell Sheets (CSs) cultures that preserve cell-cell contact, structural organization, and stem cell phenotype (SCs). Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) also induces beneficial effects that favor cell therapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the use of …

Diabetes can lead to metabolic bone changes that promote an unbalanced state in bone mass, similar to osteoporosis. The WNT signaling pathway has already been described as involved in skeletal formation, bone regeneration and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in bone lineage - being an important pathway of interest in the treatment of bone volume disorders. Previous studies from D…
Cell therapies have been showing great potential for dentin-pulp complex regeneration. Nonetheless, one of the most important concerns related to dentin-pulp complex regeneration is the lack of appropriate blood supply for new tissue morphogenesis. Despite the limited remodeling potential of the dental pulp, especially in mature teeth, this tissue does in fact demonstrate a reparative cap…
