As a dental student, I always liked teaching, which is why I was a teaching assistant for a large part of my career in the subjects of Biochemistry, Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics and Integral Children. After several years I decided to take on a personal challenge which is to pursue a postgraduate degree in Microbiology, the same one that did not exist in Bolivia, so I searched and after being evaluated I was admitted to 2 universities in Chile, of which I chose the one with the best ranking for its production in research, there I realized that I could also contribute in this area and I returned to the country to replicate what I had learned; however, I had the need to further train myself and achieve the highest postgraduate training, which is a doctorate, for that reason I applied to Brazil and thank you I was the first Bolivian to receive a scholarship from this organization at LAOHA, today I lead the International Association for Dental Research (IADR) Bolivia Section, which has

  • Relationship Between the Use of Vapes and Their Impact on Oral Health: A Bibliometric Study
    Bustillos-Torrez Willy, Valenzuela-Torres Olenka Yomira, Zapata-Sifuentes Mauricio, Castillo-Quispe Stephanny
    Journal of International Society of Preventive and Community Dentistry, 2026
    A bstract Objectives: The rapid global adoption of electronic cigarettes (vapes), particularly among younger populations, has raised significant concerns regarding their health impacts. Despite perceived lower risks compared with traditional smoking, these devices contain nicotine and toxins linked to respiratory and carcinogenic diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the current scientific landscape regarding the relationship between vaping and oral health, identifying primary research trends, leading contributors (countries, journals, and authors), and existing knowledge gaps. Methods: A systematic bibliometric analysis was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO databases, encompassing all relevant literature from database inception through May 31, 2024. The search utilized comprehensive strings targeting “vaping” and “oral health.” Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines, 160 publications were selected using Rayyan® for screening and duplicate removal. Data synthesis and science mapping were performed using Microsoft Excel 2024 and VOSviewer (v1.6.20) to analyze publication counts, keyword co-occurrence, and citation networks. Results: Analysis of the 160 included articles revealed a predominance of cross-sectional studies (31.2%, n = 50), followed by literature reviews (18.8%, n = 30) and in vitro studies (14.4%, n = 23). Cohort and longitudinal studies were less frequent, representing 6.2% and 5.6%, respectively. The most productive journals were the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (6.87%), Evidence-Based Dentistry (5.62%), and the Journal of the American Dental Association (5%). Research output was primarily concentrated in the United States, Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom. Leading authors by publication count included Fawad Javed (8 publications), whereas Issac K. Sundar was identified as the most co-cited researcher (98 co-citations). The most frequent keywords were “electronic cigarette” ( n = 37), “smoking” ( n = 35), and “oral health” ( n = 30). Conclusions: The field of vaping and oral health research is currently dominated by descriptive, cross-sectional data from high-income countries. While current evidence highlights potential risks, including inflammatory responses and oral microbiota disruption, the lack of longitudinal data limits the ability to establish definitive causality or long-term outcomes. Future research should prioritize prospective longitudinal studies to further clarify the specific clinical impacts of e-cigarette use on oral tissues.

  • Generative artificial intelligence in dental education: A narrative review of applications and challenges
    Jeannet Carla Larrea Eyzaguirre, Willy Bustillos Torrez
    Revista De La Asociacion Odontologica Argentina, 2025
    La educación odontológica está experimentando una transformación significativa impulsada por la integración de tecnologías emergentes, particularmente la inteligencia artificial (IA) generativa. Esta revisión narrativa explora cómo los modelos de IA generativa, como Chat GPT, están redefiniendo la enseñanza en las facultades de odontología, proporcionando nuevas oportunidades para la personalización del aprendizaje, la creación de simulaciones clínicas y la mejora de la retroalimentación educativa. Se realizó un análisis exhaustivo de 33 estudios recientes publicados entre 2023 y 2024, seleccionados de bases de datos académicas como PubMed, Google Académico, MDPI Journals y Dialnet. Se identificaron las diversas aplicaciones de la inteligencia artificial generativa en la enseñanza de la odontología, entre ellas el desarrollo de tutorías virtuales adaptativas, la creación de contenidos educativos y el apoyo en la toma de decisiones clínicas. Sin embargo, también se destacan desafíos importantes, como la necesidad de formación específica para los educadores, preocupaciones éticas sobre el uso de la IA generativa y la desigualdad en el acceso a estas tecnologías. Este trabajo concluye que, aunque la IA generativa ofrece un potencial considerable para mejorar la calidad de la educación odontológica, es esencial un enfoque equilibrado que combine las innovaciones tecnológicas con métodos pedagógicos tradicionales y éticos. El éxito de la integración de la IA generativa en la educación superior dependerá de la capacidad de las instituciones educativas para adaptarse a estos cambios y preparar a los estudiantes para un futuro profesional cada vez más digitalizado. Palabras clave: Educación dental, educación superior, grandes modelos de lenguaje (LLMs), inteligencia artificial, inteligencia artificial generativa. //Dental education is undergoing a significant transformation driven by the integration of emerging technologies, particularly generative artificial intelligence (AI). This narrative review explores how generative AI models, such as Chat GPT, are redefining teaching in dental schools, providing new opportunities for learning personalization, the creation of clinical simulations and improvement of educational feedback. An exhaustive analysis of 33 recent studies published between 2023 and 2024 was conducted, drawing from academic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, MDPI Journals, and Dialnet. Applications of generative artificial intelligence in dental education, including the development of adaptive virtual tutoring, the creation of educational content, and support in clinical decision-making were identified. However, significant challenges are also highlighted, such as the need for specific training for educators, ethical concerns about the use of generative AI and inequality in access to these technologies. This paper concludes that, although generative AI offers considerable potential to improve the quality of dental education, a balanced approach that combines technological innovations with traditional and ethical pedagogical methods is essential. The successful integration of generative AI into higher education will depend on educational institutions’ ability to adapt to these changes and prepare students for an increasingly digitized professional future. Keywords: Artificial intelligence, dental education, generative artificial intelligence, higher education, large language models (LLMs).

    Oral Diseases, 2024
    ObjectivesThis study evaluated antimicrobial activity of atorvastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin against oral bacteria, and the interaction of simvastatin with standard antimicrobials (amoxicillin and metronidazole).MethodsMinimal inhibitory concentration assays were performed with Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Actinomyces odontolyticus, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus sanguinis, and Streptococcus gordonii; checkerboard microdilution assays between simvastatin and standard antimicrobials; monospecies and multispecies biofilms.ResultsSimvastatin showed the best antimicrobial activity against most species (MIC range from 3.12 to 25 μg/ml), highlighting the sensitivity of P. gingivalis. In the checkerboard assay, synergistic interaction was found between simvastatin and amoxicillin against S. oralis and S. sanguinis. P. gingivalis biofilm was inhibited by simvastatin at 10 and 50× Minimal inhibitory concentration, with similar effects to metronidazole. For multispecies biofilm, SMV reduced the biofilm metabolic activity (79%) and total counts (87%), comparable to amoxicillin. Simvastatin also reduced bacterial counts of Veilonnella parvula, P. gingivalis, Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces naeslundii, P. intermedia, and Capnocytophaga ochracea in the multispecies biofilm.ConclusionsSimvastatin showed antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against oral bacteria and may contribute to the control of dysbiosis, and may be considered in clinical studies as an adjuvant in the treatment of periodontitis.
  • Periodontal disease and its impact on general health in Latin America – Diagnosis: Latin America and the Caribbean Consensus 2024

    Brazilian Oral Research, 2024
    This is a new version of the LAOHA Consensus on Periodontal Disease and its impact on general health in Latin America. Five years after the first version, knowledge has increased, and diagnosis of periodontal disease has evolved. Of especial interest relative to this topic has been the emergence of studies that have used the AAP/EFP Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions since it is the core (?)of the art of diagnosis in preventive and therapeutic strategies. To make an accurate and effective diagnosis, knowledge about the health-disease process is fundamental. This article updates and demonstrates challenges in periodontal diagnosis, especially in Latin American countries. Considering that periodontal diagnosis should be based on knowledge of the etiopathogenesis of periodontal diseases, this article points out aspects developed in the last few years and emphasizes the knowledge that has been established, considering diagnosis of periodontal diseases. The evidence available stresses the importance of interviewing the patient, by implementing periodontal charting, and requesting any imaging and other complementary tests necessary. An important observation is that the partial periodontal data recordings used for screening (up to now) are not diagnostic methods and might underestimate disease. Moreover, in this article approaches to other forms of recognizing periodontal diseases are described, which could be used, however, not for the purpose of diagnosis, but for increasing awareness and eventually for referring individuals. In Latin American countries there is a need to increase the awareness of periodontal diseases among both the population and the profession, with particular emphasis on prioritizing correct periodontal diagnosis. In Dental education, strategies need to be established with the purpose of understanding that diagnosis is pivotal to any clinical approach.

    Willy Bustillos Torrez, Luciene Cristina Figueiredo, Thalita Dias Silva Santos, Geisla Mary Soares, João Marcos Spessoto Pingueiro, et al.
    Biofouling, 2023
    This study evaluated the effect of a mouthwash containing 0.075% cetylpyridinium chloride and 0.28% zinc lactate (CPC + Zn) in a multispecies biofilm model. A 7-days 33-species biofilm, formed on Calgary device, was 1-min treated with: 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX), culture medium (negative control), 0.075% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) or CPC + Zn, 2x/day, from day 3 until day 6. The metabolic activity and the microbial composition were evaluated by colorimetric method and checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization, respectively. The three antimicrobials (CPC, CPC + Zn and CHX) reduced metabolic activity, total biofilm count and several species counts, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Parvimonas micra, Campylobacter gracilis and Streptococcus mutans. However, only CPC + Zn reduced counts of the pathogen Prevotella intermedia and did not interfere with the levels of some beneficial species in relation to the negative control. The treatment of multispecies subgingival biofilm with CPC + Zn was effective in controlling periodontal pathogens and favored the colonization of health-associated bacterial species.

    Rafael R. Moraes, Carlos E. Cuevas-Suárez, Wilfredo G. Escalante-Otárola, María R. Fernández, Andrés Dávila-Sánchez, et al.
    BMC Health Services Research, 2022
    Background The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced the routine of healthcare workers. This study investigated the impact of the pandemic on dental practice and dentists’ feelings in Latin America. Methods: A survey was conducted with dentists from 11 Spanish-speaking Latin American countries in September–December 2020. Professionals were invited by email and via an open campaign promoted on social media. The questions investigated dental care routines, practice changes, and feelings about the pandemic. Descriptive statistics were used to identify frequencies and distributions of variables. Proportions were compared using chi-square tests. Results A total of 2127 responses were collected from a sample with diverse demographic, sex, work, and education characteristics. The impact of COVID-19 was considered high/very high by 60% of respondents. The volume of patients assisted weekly was lower compared with the pre-pandemic period (mean reduction = 14 ± 15 patients). A high rate of fear to contracting the COVID-19 at work was observed (85%); 4.9% of participants had a positive COVID-19 test. The main professional challenges faced by respondents were reduction in the number of patients or financial gain (35%), fear of contracting COVID-19 (34%), and burden with or difficulty in purchasing new personal protective equipment (22%). The fear to contracting COVID-19 was influenced by the number of weekly appointments. A positive test by the dentists was associated with their reports of having assisted COVID-19 patients. The most cited feelings about the pandemic were uncertainty, fear, worry, anxiety, and stress. Negative feelings were more prevalent for professionals who did not receive training for COVID-19 preventive measures and those reporting higher levels of fear to contract the disease. Conclusion This multi-country survey indicated a high impact of the pandemic on dental care routines in Latin America. A massive prevalence of bad feelings was associated with the pandemic.
  • Whole Tooth Regeneration: Can Animal Studies be Translated into Clinical Application?
    Camila Pinheiro Furquim, Rose Yakushijin Kumagai, Willy Bustillos-Torrez, Jonathan Meza-Mauricio, Caio Junji Tanaka, et al.
    Tissue Engineering Part C Methods, 2022
    Tooth loss leads to several oral problems and although a large number of treatments have been proposed to rehabilitate partially or totally edentulous patients, none of them are based on replacement of a missing tooth by a new natural whole-tooth. In the field of tissue engineering, some animal models have been developed to regenerate a natural tooth in the oral cavity. This review shows the state-of-art in whole tooth regeneration based on data from in vivo studies. A systematic scoping review was conducted to evaluate studies that described whole-tooth regeneration and eruption in the oral cavity. The data demonstrated that over 100 animals were used in experimental studies and all of them received implants of tooth germs constructed by bioengineering processes. Mini pigs and pigs were used in 4 studies followed by mice (n=1) and dog (n=1). Over 58 (44%) animals showed whole tooth eruption around 3.5 months after tooth germ implantation (1 to 13.5 months). Most of specimens revealed the presence of odontoblasts, dentin, dentinal tubules, dental pulp, root analogue, cementum, blood vessels and alveolar bone. It could be concluded that in vivo whole tooth regeneration was proved to be possible, but the challenge to overcome translational barriers and test these approaches in humans still remains.
