PRESENTATION AND HISTORY

The Dentistry program at Tuiuti University has a tradition spanning over 30 years in training dentists. From the very beginning, Tuiuti University has been distinguished by its focus on TMD (Temporomandibular JDisorders) and Orofacial Pain. This emphasis emerged due to the scarcity of specialized care facilities and the unwavering commitment of the university to provide this specialty, leading to the establishment of the Center for Diagnosis and Therapy of the Temporomandibular Joint (CDATM). The growth and development of CDATM eventually led to collaboration with the field of Endodontics and Orthodontics, resulting in the creation of the Center for Diagnosis and Therapeutics in Endodontics and Orthodontics (CD-ENDO and CD-ORTO). This integration facilitated the sharing of patient history, clinical and imaging exams, and the subsequent collaborative and differential diagnosis of pain conditions, thereby preventing misdiagnosis and ensuring that orofacial pain treatments are directed to Tuiuti University of Paraná. In this context, the Academic Master’s Program in Dentistry at Tuiuti University of Paraná is a natural progression of the Dentistry course. Built on a strong pedagogical foundation, its goal is to prepare professionals to critically and comprehensively engage in teaching and research, with a focus on the transformative role of education and the impact of their actions within communities. The program received approval and a recommendation from CAPES during the 223rd CTC-ES Meeting held from August 14 to 18, 2023.

  • OBJECTIVES

    Our objectives are centered around developing values and practices that promote the training of highly skilled professionals who can excel as educators, researchers, and administrators in the field of Dentistry, with a particular emphasis on specialties like TMD and Orofacial Pain, Endodontics and Orthodontics. 

    As a result, depending on their chosen area of concentration, professionals will be prepared to: 

    – Participate in teaching and take on leadership roles in higher education institutions. 

    – Demonstrate strong investigative and scientific abilities, along with a critical, ethical, and reflective approach, allowing them to collaborate effectively in teams to assess and propose innovative solutions. 

    – Establish knowledge hubs and research groups within universities and research institutions. 

    – Cultivate partnerships within the academic community, collaborating with governmental and non-governmental organizations to initiate innovative scientific projects. 

    – Address the social, scientific, and technological needs of both the public and private sectors.

  • CONCENTRATION AREA

    The Master’s Program in Dentistry at Tuiuti University of Paraná offers three areas of concentration: 

    • Endodontics 

    This concentration area focuses on imparting knowledge related to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of odontogenic pain associated with pulp diseases and their impact on periapical tissues. Additionally, it encourages innovative research in materials and endodontic and restorative therapies to advance the approach and restoration of dental health and function. 

    • Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and Orofacial Pain 

    In this concentration area, students gain an interdisciplinary understanding of the anatomical and physiological aspects, diagnosis, and treatment options for Temporomandibular Disorders and Orofacial Pain. This field also encourages innovative research and studies into the causes and diverse clinical therapies, with the goal of restoring stomatognathic system function and improving the quality of life for individuals affected by orofacial disorders. 

    • Orthodontics 

    The Orthodontics concentration area aims to provide an understanding of studies with clinical-functional impact, encompassing the relationship between Orthodontics, masticatory functions, and the patient’s response to treatment. The aspects addressed range from diagnosis to the investigation of etiological factors, development of dental arches, pain mechanisms and risk factors, complications of orthodontic treatment, and evaluation and application of materials, techniques, and clinical protocols that promote greater therapeutic efficacy, contributing to the improvement of patients’ quality of life. 

  • RESEARCH AREAS

    The Master’s Degree in Dentistry at Tuiuti University is organized into two research areas that provide a strong foundation for its areas of concentration: 

    • Anatomophysiopathological, Molecular, and Therapeutic Aspects of Orofacial Pain 

    This research line is dedicated to the exploration of anatomical, physiological, pathological, and molecular processes that underlie orofacial pain within the stomatognathic system. It encourages interdisciplinary collaboration by establishing connections with various dental specialties and other healthcare fields, facilitating the integration of concepts to gain a deeper understanding of systemic phenomena. This line also seeks to investigate and evaluate the effectiveness of protocols for distinguishing between odontogenic and non-odontogenic pain, while also focusing on the analysis and development of therapies for Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and Orofacial Pain. 

    • Biological Bases, Materials, and Techniques Applied to Endodontics and Orthodontics 

     This research area studies the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the stomatognathic system, dental pulp, and periradicular tissues. It involves the biology, etiology, prevention, diagnosis, prediction, and treatment of pathologies associated with Endodontics and Orthodontics, as well as the interrelationship between Endodontics and Orthodontics. Consequently, this area also encompasses the study of technological innovations, instruments, equipment, and techniques applied to clinical therapy, in addition to the physicochemical and biological properties of endodontic and orthodontic materials.
