Lilian Pignatta: orthodontist in Araçatuba

Dr. Lilian Pignatta is an orthodontist in Araçatuba, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, registered as CRO-SP 75164 and in clinical practice since 2002. She holds a master’s degree (2005-2006) and a doctorate (2008-2011) in Orthodontics from UNESP, a public university, plus more than 20 years of continuous practice.

Education

She completed her Dentistry degree in 2001 at UNESP (Araçatuba School of Dentistry). Her orthodontic training followed in stages: a course in preventive and interceptive orthodontics at NEC-Odonto (2002-2003), a specialization in Orthodontics at UNESP (2005-2007), and a master’s (2005-2006) and doctorate (2008-2011) in Orthodontics, both from UNESP. From 2014 to 2018 she taught in NEC-Odonto’s orthodontics specialization course.

Areas of practice

Her focus is orthodontics, including preventive and interceptive orthodontics, orthodontic mini-implant anchorage, the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in children, and pediatric dentistry.

Recognition

Her academic record includes several distinctions: second place for an oral presentation at UNIMEP (2005), the Marcelo Galante Award (2003), an honorable mention at an Academic Journey competition (2002), and recognitions from CROSP, the São Paulo state dental board, in both 2003 and 2004. These awards date from her early years in the specialty, around the same period she completed her preventive and interceptive orthodontics training at NEC-Odonto.

Scientific record

Between 2002 and 2012 she published 10 articles in specialized journals, on topics such as dental enamel, orthodontic bonding systems, mini-implant anchorage, and TMD in children. That body of work spans a full decade of academic output alongside her clinical practice.

Technology used in her clinic

LP Odontologia uses an iTero 5D Plus intraoral scanner. In a single scan, it captures a 3D model of the dental arch, true intraoral color, and near-infrared images (NIRI); it can also track the same area over time (TimeLapse), detect interproximal cavities without radiation, and simulate the expected orthodontic outcome before treatment starts.

Care is available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. She works at LP Odontologia, R. Carlos Gomes, 239, Sala 1402, 14th floor, Centro, Araçatuba (SP), Brazil, 16010-310, Monday to Friday, 8am-12pm and 2pm-6pm. Contact is by WhatsApp at +55 18 99736-3600. Instagram: @lilianpignatta.
