🎓 Education
Dr. Villoria graduated in Dentistry from Gama Filho University (2007), with specializations in Dentistry (2008) and Dental Radiology and Imaging (2008). He obtained his Master’s degree in Dental Radiology from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (PUC Minas) in 2013, with a dissertation on imaging diagnostic methods. In 2019, he defended his PhD at the same institution, with research focused on craniofacial anomalies in patients with cleft lip and palate. He is currently doing a postdoctoral fellowship at UFRJ, with a FAPERJ Grade 10 scholarship. 🎓🧠
💼 Experience
With a solid career, Dr. Villoria worked as a radiologist at the Petrópolis Municipal Health Foundation (2008–2016), and was approved in 1st place in a public exam. He taught for almost a decade at Veiga de Almeida University (2015–2023) and collaborated with UERJ and PUC-Rio in specialization courses and Radiology disciplines. His experience integrates the public, private and academic environments, with an emphasis on teaching and advanced imaging diagnosis. 👨🏫🏥
🔬 Research Interests
His main research interests include cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), three-dimensional analysis of craniofacial structures, ultrasonography of salivary glands, and development of protocols for complementary diagnosis in autoimmune syndromes, such as Sjögren’s syndrome. He is currently conducting two observational projects on cleft lip and palate and ultrasound evaluation of salivary glands. 🧪🖥️
