Dr. Manso completed her Ph.D. in Dental Biomaterials at the University of São Paulo, with a focus on strategies to optimize the durability of dental adhesive interfaces. As a clinician scientist, she is interested in the mechanisms involved in degradation processes that occur at the resin–dentin interface while transferring the knowledge to improve direct and indirect dental restorations, adhesive systems, resin cements, and resin composites. Adriana’s research program at UBC is mainly focused on the development of materials with strong and long-lasting antimicrobial properties for targeted dental applications, particularly focused on the highly prevalent oral disease, dental caries, mainly occurring on hard dental tissues at dental–material interfaces. More recently, her research efforts have been directed at pursuing the inclusion of photosensitive compounds and/or nanoparticles in dental materials such as varnishes, hydrogels, and resin-based restoratives for use with an antimicrobial photodynamic-therapy-based approach to managing cariogenic biofilms.
