Ortoplan (Vila A) is a dental clinic located in the Vila A district of Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil, and forms part of the Ortoplan Especialidades Odontológicas network, which has been operating for over 23 years. The clinic sits at Avenida Silvio Américo Sasdelli 1842, a main road running through the northern part of Foz do Iguaçu. As one of multiple Ortoplan branches in the region, this location serves the residential population of Vila A and surrounding neighbourhoods with a full team of specialist dentists covering the major disciplines of modern dentistry.
Foz do Iguaçu is a city of approximately 260,000 residents at the western tip of Paraná state, on the borders of Argentina and Paraguay. Known internationally as the gateway to the Iguazu Falls, the city also functions as a significant cross-border hub. Residents of Ciudad del Este in Paraguay and Puerto Iguazú in Argentina frequently use Foz do Iguaçu for services including healthcare and dental treatment. The Vila A neighbourhood, served by this Ortoplan branch, is a residential area in the northern zone of the city, somewhat removed from the tourist-heavy southern districts and catering predominantly to local families and working residents.
Treatments and Specialties
The clinic operates with a team of specialists across the main dental disciplines, allowing patients to receive diverse treatments without being referred to external practitioners. This is a significant advantage in a multi-specialty setting: a patient who starts with orthodontics may also need restorative or periodontal treatment, and having the relevant specialists in-house streamlines the process.

Orthodontics is handled by Dr. Samir Mahmoud Taha (CRO/PR 21.668), who also serves as the Technical Manager of this branch. Orthodontic treatment addresses misaligned teeth and jaw discrepancies using fixed braces or removable appliances. Implantology is covered by Dr. Robson Calvo Melo (CRO 10.089), who manages surgical placement and the restoration of implant-supported prostheses. Prosthodontics and porcelain veneers are overseen by Dr. Khaled Jamal Rahal (CRO/PR 18.297), specialising in the rehabilitation of damaged or missing teeth with fixed restorations. General dentistry is led by Dra. Angelita Gabriela Paludo (CRO/PR 21.977), covering routine consultations, restorations, and preventive care. Pediatric dentistry is the specialty of Dra. Isabella Sena Avelar (CRO 31.554), providing age-appropriate care for children from early tooth development through adolescence. Endodontic treatment, including root canal therapy, is performed by Dr. Paulo Cesar Gomes Andrade (CRO/PR 10.090).
Bichectomy is a surgical procedure that removes a portion of the buccal fat pad, the naturally occurring fat deposits in the cheeks, to produce a more defined facial contour. It has become increasingly popular in Brazil as part of the broader category of facial harmonization procedures performed by qualified dental surgeons. Laser therapy at the clinic is used to support various treatments: laser can assist in soft tissue procedures, periodontal treatment, and post-operative recovery by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing.
