Lais Landim Gomes

Dr. Lais Landim Gomes serves as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Endodontics at the University of Saskatchewan, bringing extensive international training from Brazilian institutions (UNESP and USP) and McGill University. Her academic journey spans clinical dentistry, advanced biomaterials research, and biomedical engineering applications.

Her educational foundation includes:

• Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS)
• MSc in Endodontics from São Paulo State University (UNESP)
• PhD in Prosthodontics & Dental Materials from UNESP
• Clinical specialty in Endodontics from University of São Paulo (USP)
• Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biomedical Engineering at McGill University

Research expertise centers on three synergistic domains:

• Designing next-generation endodontic biomaterials with enhanced antimicrobial and adhesive properties
• Exploring connections between systemic diseases and endodontic treatment efficacy
• Developing innovative rehabilitation protocols for root canal-treated teeth using photopolymerization technology

Research recognition includes:

• Award from Brazilian Group of Dental Materials (GBMD)
• Award from UNESP's XXXV Scientific Initiation Conference

Dr. Gomes maintains active research programs supported by FAPESP and Fonds de Recherche du Québec grants, with publications in peer-reviewed dental journals. Her work uniquely integrates dental clinical practice with biomedical engineering principles to advance endodontic therapy.

She leads a biomaterials-focused research group within the University of Saskatchewan's dental program, fostering innovation at the intersection of dentistry and medical materials science.
