María Lorena Cabirta

With a solid academic background, more than 20 years of clinical and teaching experience, and participation in basic science research (experimental orthodontics in hypercholesterolemia) and clinical studies (vital pulp therapy, trauma, apical microsurgery), I contribute significantly to the academic, clinical, and scientific activities of the Endodontics Department at the School of Dentistry of the University of Buenos Aires.

I am a Doctor of Dentistry, Specialist in Orthodontics and Maxillary Orthopedics, Authorized Teacher, and Adjunct Professor in the School of Dentistry at the University of Buenos Aires, where I also serve as Deputy Director of the Microtomography Service.

My teaching work has focused on the research and application of clinical orthodontics and its interrelation with disciplines such as pediatric dentistry, dental traumatology, prosthetics, and child psychology. 
This interdisciplinary perspective was also the focus of my doctoral research, which centered on the effects of hypercholesterolemia on tooth movement in animal models. The results of this research have been presented at national and international conferences and recognized with various awards. 

I am particularly excited about the possibility of joining an academic community of excellence such as the IADT, where I could continue to develop my line of research in orthodontics in teeth with a history of trauma, collaborate on interdisciplinary projects, and contribute to the training of undergraduate and graduate students. I am also motivated by the possibility of enriching institutional diversity through my international experience and my commitment to humanized and inclusive teaching.
