Associate Professor at the Department of Biomaterials and Oral Biology at FOUSP. Graduated in Dentistry from the University of São Paulo (1997), where she also obtained the titles of master (Materials Dental - 1999), PhD (Materials Dental - 2002) and Associate Professor (Biomaterials and Oral Biology - 2010). She was a visiting professor at the University of Minneapolis, USA (7/2009 to 12/2009) and at the University of Sydney, Australia (8/2010 to 8/2011). The research subject is focused on the application of the finite element method in biomechanical failures of interest to Dentistry, with an emphasis on a transdisciplinary approach. Current research projects focus on simulating peri-implant bone resorption and orthodontic root resorption, always seeking to use inputs and outputs that are consistent with the biological mechanisms associated with the resorption under study.

Due to the high incidence of chipping on veneered Yttria Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal (Y-TZP), authors began to use the edge chipping test to evaluate dental ceramics, checking the influence of framework materials (metal or zirconia) in the failure of veneering porcelain. Therefore, a recent study replaced bar specimens to crown shape specimens to evaluate the chipping resistance of an…
The clinical success of fiber posts has been attributed to its lower elastic modulus. The tested hypothesis is that fiber posts could lead to lower risk of post debonding and lower risk of root fracture, despite an increase in root stresses. Stress analyses were carried out using a 3D finite element model of a premolar restored with metallic or fiber post. Bonded and nonbonded post / ceme…
Upper lateral agenesis is a common congenital dental condition that presents significant aesthetic and functional challenges in the affected region. Among the treatment options available, the installation of an implant-supported crown is considered. However, achieving satisfactory aesthetics can be challenging with traditional implants and connectors due to the limited buccopalatal thickn…
Orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) have been widely used in Orthodontics in recent years. Many scientific studies have used finite element analysis (FEA) to assess the risk of biomechanical failures associated with OMIs. However, a common mistake in many of the studies is to consider a perfect union between OMI and bone. Osseointegration is neither necessary nor desirable in OMIs. When it o…
Due to the high incidence of chipping on veneered Yttria Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal (Y-TZP), authors began to use the edge chipping test to evaluate dental ceramics, checking the influence of framework materials (metal or zirconia) in the failure of veneering porcelain. However the test showed to be inefficient, probably because the bar format specimen does not reproduce thermal stre…

In vivo and in vitro studies have attested the superior performance of yttrium - oxide paritally-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) compared to other frameworks ceramics. Recently, however, clinical reports describing chipping of the overlaying porcelain applied on the zirconia structure has increased substantially. The overall objective of this project is to develop a nu…
