The coolest guy I've ever known in the odontology world


The last year I was invited to attend an exhibition about a specialist who performs surgeries to treat facial paralysis. This man, called Omar Campos, is an odontologist graduated in the faculty of odontology of the University of Chile, specializing in maxillofacial surgery in the same university. The facial paralysis treatments existing are ineffective because people with this disease can never fully recover. Therefore he went to France to learn revolutionary methods about how to treat persons with facial paralysis. Currently, he along with a team of neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists, neurologists and other specialists performs treatments for people with facial paralysis with very good results. People even come from outside of Chile to perform operations.

I'm surprised that being a dental surgeon, he was able to lead the field of surgery still above many doctors, something very difficult to do in an area so discriminating as medicine. His achievements and studies you can see on their website http://omarcampos.cl/ and are inspiring and admirable. When I think in all the things that this man do, what he has achieved in his life,  I feel with the desire to study and learn more about dentistry.
