I am a Doctor of Dental Sciences from the Universidade Federal do Ceara, in Brazil. I also hold an M.Sc. degree in Cariology, completed at the Universidade de Campinas. In 2024, I earned my P.hD in Pediatric Dentistry from the University of Sao Paulo. My research interests are related to developing antibiofilm strategies to prevent, control and treat dental caries.

The objective of this project is to develop an experimental toothpaste containing Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) loaded in chitosan nanoparticles and test the effects of this product on the initial growth, maturation, and virulence of Streptococcus mutans biofilm. The data generated will be evaluated by appropriate statistical tests, and the development of this study will lead to the pro…
The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the dose-response effect of epigallo-catechin-3- gallate (EGCg) on the bacterial adhesion, initial biofilm growth, and on the progression of biofilminduced caries lesions formed on bovine dental enamel. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of EGCG on S. mutans will be tested. Concentrations 10x (EGCg C1), 100x (EGCGg C2), and 1000x (EGCg …
S. mutans is a bacterial pathogen strongly implicated in dental caries onset and progression. It utilizes dietary sucrose to build up cariogenic biofilms characterized by an acidic milieu and a virulent extracellular matrix. Among potential preventive agents to target the cariogenic biofilm, Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is known to disturb S. mutans viability and growth. However, the t…
