Tiago Borges is a Researcher at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Health (CIIS) at Universidade Católica Portuguesa. His work primarily focuses on dental implantology and oral surgery, with significant contributions to systematic reviews and meta-analyses in the field of implant dentistry. He maintains an active research profile with 36 publications, an h-index of 9, and 217 Scopus citations.

Dr. Borges specializes in several key research areas within dentistry:

• Implant Medicine and Dentistry
• Implant Placement techniques
• Systematic Review methodology
• Meta-Analysis of clinical trials
• Oral Implants
• Marginal Bone Loss
• Randomized Clinical Trials
• Clinical Study methodology

His recent publication trend shows a strong emphasis on evidence-based approaches to dental implant procedures, with systematic reviews examining immediate implant placement in damaged extraction sockets, comparative analysis of zirconia versus titanium implants, and the use of tissue grafts for peri-implant stability. His research methodology consistently employs rigorous meta-analytical techniques to evaluate clinical outcomes and treatment efficacy in implant dentistry.

Dr. Borges has supervised several students including Nunes, S. M. V. who researched customized healing abutments for immediate dental implants, and Ramos, S. P. F. F. who conducted three-dimensional evaluations of palate healing after connective tissue graft harvesting. He is an active participant in research projects such as "InDig: Innovation and digital teaching technologies in Dental Medicine" (Portugal2020, 2022-2023) and the broader "CIIS: Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Health" initiative (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, 2020-2024), where he contributes to advancing dental education and interdisciplinary health research.
