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.

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Curitiba, situated in the southern region of Brazil, proudly serves as the capital of the Paraná state. With an estimated population of approximately 1.9 million residents, as reported by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in 2021, it ranks among the most populous cities in the nation. What sets Curitiba apart is its pioneering commitment to sustainability, making it one of Brazil’s foremost eco-conscious cities, championing practices like recycling and the promotion of public transportation.
Afonso Pena International Airport stands as the primary gateway to Curitiba and its surrounding metropolitan area. Nestled in São José dos Pinhais, roughly 18 km from Curitiba’s core, this airport ranks among Brazil’s busiest, facilitating both domestic and international travel.
Curitiba’s reputation for efficient and seamlessly integrated public transportation is well-deserved. Bi-articulated buses and tube stations expedite commuting within the city, setting a national benchmark for public transit efficiency. Curious travelers often flock to the city to witness this remarkable transportation system in action, drawn by its effectiveness and commitment to sustainability.
For those traveling beyond the city’s limits, the Curitiba Bus Station, also known as the Curitiba Bus Terminal, serves as a crucial ground transportation hub. It connects Curitiba to numerous cities across Brazil, and even extends its reach to neighboring countries like Argentina and Paraguay.
The cost of living in Curitiba varies based on personal lifestyle choices, including housing, dining, transportation, and leisure activities. In comparison to other major Brazilian cities, Curitiba’s cost of living can be considered moderate.
Beyond its eco-friendly initiatives, Curitiba is renowned for its abundant green spaces and well-planned urban landscapes. The city boasts numerous parks and forests, such as the Botanical Garden, Barigui Park, and the German Forest. Moreover, Curitiba stands as a vibrant cultural hub, home to museums, theaters, art galleries, and year-round cultural events.
In this vibrant urban context, the Master’s Program in Dentistry is offered at Tuiuti University of Paraná’s campus, conveniently located at Rua Padre Ladislau Kula, 395, in the Santo Inácio neighborhood. The campus enjoys excellent accessibility via public transportation, is adjacent to BR 277, and is in proximity to the scenic Barigui Park.
