Tufts University School of Dental Medicine – Department of Periodontology

Dr. Mourao, a distinguished Brazilian dental surgeon, obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Universidade Estacio de Sa in 2005. He has over 15 years of private practice experience and has developed expertise in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS), Implant Dentistry, and Oral Medicine.Between 2014 and 2019, Dr. Mourao held the rank of Lieutenant (Officer) in the Brazilian Navy. He served as a dentist in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Implant Dentistry. In addition, he is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Periodontology, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, in Boston, United States.Dr. Mourao's academic background encompasses a professorship in the Department of OMFS at Universidade Estacio de Sa from 2007 to 2012. Presently, he teaches in the graduate program in Dentistry at Sao Paulo University (USP) and Biotechnology at Fluminense Federal University (UFF).He earned a Master's degree in Surgical Sciences (2012) from the School of Medicine at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil, where he acquired extensive experience in animal research with rabbits, rats, and pigs. Furthermore, he obtained a Ph.D. in Dentistry (2017) from UFF, Brazil, conducting clinical trials during his studies.After his doctoral studies, Dr. Mourao completed two postdoctoral fellowships at UFF in Biotechnology (2017-2021) and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (2018-2021). He has also demonstrated a strong aptitude for securing federal and private grants to support research projects.As a researcher, Dr. Mourao's areas of specialization include blood-derived growth factors, bone regeneration, tissue engineering, bone graft analysis, dental implants, and oral surgery. Additionally, he serves as a reviewer for a wide array of national and international academic journals. 

Collection Overview

The dynamic field of regenerative medicine seeks to restore or replace impaired tissues or organs, harnessing the body's intrinsic capabilities for healing and regeneration. It employs innovative medical approaches to expedite and guide these innate processes, thereby bolstering tissue regeneration. This transformative methodology can significantly benefit patients suffering from severe ailments or injuries by enhancing their health and quality of life. 

 

A notable subdivision of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering concentrates on fabricating new tissues and organs within a controlled laboratory setting. In recent times, there has been substantial advancement and finesse in numerous tissue engineering techniques. These methodologies are now effectively employed in the production of an extensive range of engineered tissues and organs, including but not limited to skin, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. 

 

This Methods Collection aims to provide an up-to-date overview of progress in the regenerative domain. Topics of interest include advancements in both hard and soft tissue regeneration, breakthroughs in wound healing strategies, and innovative technologies employed in tissue regeneration.
