He is currently Doctorade Student in Implantology of CPO SLMandic, in Campinas/SP.

He coordinated updating courses in Implantology and Prosthesis over Implants in Meridional Dental Study Center (CEOM) - Passo Fundo/RS from 1998 to 2006.

He was scientific coordinator of the specialization course in Implantology at Brazilian Dentistry Association (ABO) in Florianópolis/SC from 2000 to 2003. Nowadays, he is teacher of Implantology of these Study Centers.

He developed a new technique to broden indications for immediate loading on individual teeth. Through it, cases of compromised sites with bone loss/gingival recessions can be reconstructed in the same surgical session of tooth extraction, implant placement and provisional crown installation, reducing the number of interventions and keeping predictability on esthetic aspects. The name of this technique is Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration or “IDR”.

The technique was theme of the book of the same name launched in Portuguese language in 2010, by Santos Publishing (São Paulo – Brazil). The book “Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR) – Immediate-loaded implants in compromised alveolar sockets”, sold out its first edition in three months. A new edition in Portuguese was launched in 2011 and the Spanish language version was launched in May 2012. The English language version in going to be launched until the end of 2012.

Since 1993 he is giving lectures in all parts of Brazil and since 2009 he is giving lectures in Brazil and around the world to spread the technique developed by him. He has a private practice and Study Center in Caxias do Sul/RS – Brazil, “Rosa Odontologia”, where he gives courses, hands-on and coordinates research groups.
