In the last two years of college I got passionate about periodontology and surgery, which led me to a post-graduation in Periodontology in the University of Gotenburg in 2004/2005 and to a specialization degree in Periodontics in the Faculty of Dental Medicine , University of Lisbon in 2008-2011. I joined the MALOCLINIC in 2005 and from that time my practice has been exclusively on Treatment Planning, Oral Surgery, Implant Dentistry and Periodontology. At the MALOCLINIC my time is dedicated to my patients and my team (I serve as the Head of the periodontology and surgical department) to education (through the MALOCLINIC Education) and to clinical research and development. Learning and teaching is one of my devotions and being able to lecture at Lisbon University (Periodontology Department), at the MALOCLINIC Education center in Lisbon, mentoring one-to-one or in several National and International Courses and Conferences featuring Periodontology, Oral Rehabilitation, Implantology and Guided surgery gives me a sense of contribution. I am fluent in Portuguese, English, German, Spanish and French, making it easier to communicate with my peers and with referred patients that come from all over the world to be treated at the MALOCLINIC through our Protocol, providing Edentulous patients fixed teeth in one day. Having to face everyday challenges in the dental field, part of my working time is oriented to create solutions through Protocol Innovation, Product Development and Clinical Research, being a author and co-author of several journal scientific publications and book chapters. My sense of contribution to Education and Science in the dental field comes also for being a scientific reviewer for specialized journals, a Board member at the Foundation for Oral Rehabilitation and working in a close collaboration with market leading brands like Nobelbiocare, W&H and Hu-Friedy. Practicing everyday activities like Yoga, meditation and Surfing is a way to find myself and be able to get all the energy to fulfill my balance between my private and working life.
