Professor Dr Joao Carlos Ramos is the leading dentist at the Instituto Português de Medicina Dentária, the exclusive ZAGA Center in the district of Aveiro, Portugal. First, Dr Ramos graduated in 1992 from the faculty of Medicine at the University of Coimbra. Afterward, he got a doctorate in 2008 from the same University. In particular, Dr Ramos is a zygomatic implant expert with over 25 years of experience in dentistry. Besides his main activity as a dentist, he also works as an Assistant Professor and Director of the Institute of Operative Dentistry of the Integrated Master of Dentistry (MIMD) of the FMUC.
Additionally, Dr Joao Carlos Ramos is a professor and regent of “Introduction to Clinic, Ergonomics, and ICT of the MIMD of the FMUC. Specifically, he combines his passion for dentistry with teaching and transmitting his vast knowledge. When Dr Joao Carlos Ramos is not working as a dentist, he dedicates his time to lectures and publishing articles in scientific magazines. Finally, Dr Joao Carlos Ramos is the director of the Mechanical Testing Laboratory of the FMUC and Coordinator of the Oral Biomechanics area of CIROS of the FMUC.
Dr João Carlos Ramos’ Achievements
First of all, Dr Joao Carlos Ramos is the president of the Portuguese Society of Aesthetics and Oral Rehabilitation (SPERO). Likewise, he is also an active member of IADR (International Association for Dental Research), IADT (International Association of Dental Traumatology), ICD (International College of Dentists), SPEMD (Portuguese Society of Stomatology and Dental Medicine) of SPPI (Portuguese Society of Periodontology and Implants) and SPED (Portuguese Society of Dental Aesthetics).
Moreover, Dr Joao Carlos Ramos is the author and co-author of dozens of scientific articles, two books, two chapters of international books, and a digital encyclopedia. Additionally, he is also a reviewer and member of the editorial board of several scientific journals. In particular, Dr Ramos researches in the area of adhesive systems, composite resins, inorganic biomaterials, pulp biology, implantology, oral traumatology, and ergonomics. Finally, Dr Joao Carlos Ramos is the Clinical Director of the Portuguese Institute of Dentistry, which is a private practice dedicated essentially to integrated oral rehabilitation.
