About
Poliana Mendes Duarte is a leading researcher in periodontology, with a focused expertise in the molecular and diagnostic aspects of periodontal disease, particularly in patients with systemic conditions like diabetes. Her major contributions lie in pioneering the use of infrared spectroscopy (IRS) to analyze gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), demonstrating that this technique can identify periodontitis-specific molecular signatures and distinguish diabetes-associated periodontitis from other forms. Her most cited work, a 2013 study on "Diabetes‐Associated Periodontitis Molecular Features in Infrared Spectra of Gingival Crevicular Fluid," has garnered 17 citations and established a non-invasive, biochemical approach to confirming clinical diagnoses. This innovative research bridges oral biology and advanced spectroscopy, offering new pathways for early detection and personalized treatment of periodontal disease. Duarte’s work is highly regarded for its translational potential, impacting both clinical practice and biomedical research. Her achievements highlight her as a key figure in integrating molecular diagnostics into periodontology, making her a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring the intersection of systemic health and oral disease.
