MAJOR INTERESTS
We are investigating the causes of diseases affecting the structures of the teeth, in a goal to improve treatment, prevention and control of the patient.

Specifically we aim at:

  • characterizing the periodontal disease and infectious agents
  • designing a new oral scale in patients with periodontal disease
  • detecting Helicobacter pylori in samples from subjects with and without periodontitis by appropriate Molecular Biology methods.
  • Identifying the genetic basis of developmental absence of maxillary lateral incisors

Projet title: Helicobacter pylori detection in samples from subjects with and without periodontitis from North of Portugal.
Project Reference: 03-GCD-CICS 2011
Projet abstract: Helicobacter pylori is an actual bacteria on gastrointestinal pathology, associated to gastritis, peptic ulcer and, in particular conditions, to gastric cancer. There is still the question of the origin of infection, stomach? oral cavity, linked to periodontal disease? The purpose of this study is to detect the bacteria in saliva of individuals with and without periodontal disease optimizing appropriate molecular biology methods

Project title: Susceptibility of agenesis of lateral maxillary incisors: a study of association with candidate genes.
Project Reference: 01-GCD-CICS-2011
Project abstract: Our aim was to study a large number of genes encoding either transcription factors or key components in signaling pathways shown to be involved in tooth odontogenesis.We selected 8 genes—MSX1, PAX9, AXIN2, EDA, SPRY2, TGFA, SPRY4, and WNT10A—and performed one of the largest case-control studies taking into account the number of genes and variants assessed, aiming at the identification of MLIA susceptibility factors.

Project title: The effects of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise on cervical and temporomandibular joint in individuals submitted to orthodontic treatment: a retrospective and prospective study.
Project Reference: 01-GCD-CICS-2011
Project abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of controlled and standardized protocols of physiotherapy in individuals who were subject to orthodontic treatment. A retrospective study will be held, comparing the clinical and radiographical features of subjects before and after the orthodontic treatment, in relation to muscular and articular outcomes. After this, a double-blind randomized controlled trial will be set, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy.
