Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Faculdade de Odontologia de Piracicaba (FOP) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
She holds a degree in Pharmacy-Biochemistry from the School of Pharmacy and Dentistry of Alfenas (1989), a Master's in Dentistry (Pharmacology) from the State University of Campinas (1993), and a PhD in Dentistry (Pharmacology) from the State University of Campinas (1997), including a Sandwich PhD at the University of Rochester. Currently, she is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Dentistry of Piracicaba, UNICAMP, Department of Biosciences, Biochemistry Division. She is also part of the Graduate Program in Dentistry at the same institution. Her research expertise lies in the field of Cariology, primarily addressing topics such as dental caries, fluoride, in vitro and in situ studies, dental biofilm and fluoridated dentifrices. She served as Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Dentistry from 2010 to 2014 and as General Coordinator of the Graduate Programs at the Faculty of Dentistry of Piracicaba from 2014 to 2018. At IADR, she currently holds the position of Councilor for the IADR Cariology Research Group, Chair of the IADR Osteology Foundation New Investigator Award in Oral Tissue Regeneration Committee, and member of the Review Committee for the IADR Dianne Rekow Mentoring in Science Award. Additionally, she is a member of the 2025 IADR/PER General Session Committee. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Since the enamel of primary teeth is more susceptible to decay than the permanent laboratory models have been used to evaluate the effect of substances capable of controlling caries in primary teeth should consider this difference, which has not been observed in the literature consulted. The objective of this project will validate a pH cycling model for the study of demineralization of th…
This project is related to the visit of Prof. Dr. R Peter Shellis, University of Bristol, and editor of scientific journal "Caries Research" from 2000 to 2009. The visit of Prof. Shellis involves presentations for the students of the Program of Post-Graduation in Dentistry, FOP-UNICAMP, as well as conference for the whole scientific community of FOP and other institutions of the state of …

Histidine, an amino acid that can act as a buffer, increases the reactivity of fluoride (F) with the dental substrate, in view of the higher formation of weakly bound ("CaF2") and strongly bound (FA) fluoride, as observed in previous studies. Since the effect of buffering does not appear to be responsible for the higher reactivity, suggesting an effect of the histidine molecule itself, th…
The role of fluoride (F) in the prevention and control of dental caries is well described, as well as being the most relevant method, inhibiting demineralization and remineralization activating. Regarding the reactivity of F with the dental substrate, studies show that there are factors and substances that can interfere with this process. One of the main factors is the pH decrease, which …
The enamel of deciduous tooth has more carbonate in its composition and a thinner layer, so the carious lesion progression is faster than in the enamel of the permanent teeth. Thus, it is important that an in vitro model of pH cycling consider these differences and be validated against the dose-response effect of fluoride on tooth demineralization. The objective of this project is to vali…
