Today I'll talk about the most important person in Odontology, he`s Pierre Fauchard, recognized like the father of this career.
I heard the history of Pierre Fauchard at the beginning of this year at university when a historian present us an oral presentation of the history of Odontoloy.

He was born in Britain in 1678 and died at the year 1729. He was a militar surgeon, who in 1728 published his first book of Odontology, call "Le chirurgen dentiste ou traité des dents" in which talk about the firsts previews of Odontology and in 1947 he published the second edition of his book with more material and better illustrartions.
This second edition is considered like the most important book of the odontologic history, because with this book Pierre Fauchard differentiate between a surgeon of a dentist surgeon, and in fact he was recognized like the first dentist surgeon. And also this book was used like basis for all the new books of Odontology in the future, because it had great information of this area.
Nowadays his contribution was very important, because without him, maybe we haven´t all the things and techniques that we use in Odontology, and all the things that proffesors teach us at University was connected with these firsts studies.
