On September 17th, 2021 we received the sad news of the death of "Profe Isidro", as we affectionately called to Dr. Ricardo Isidrón Pérez; the first specialist in Maxillofacial Surgery in Sancti Spíritus; considered a precursor of the specialty in the province. He was an example for all the generations that followed him, for his dedication to work, as well as the affection and respect he had for his patients, colleagues and students.Isidrón, from working class origin, was born on April 8th, 1947 in Sancti Spíritus city. He began university studies at the Stomatology Faculty of the University of Havana in 1966 and graduated in 1970 with excellent results. He began his working life as a general stomatologist at the Stomatology Clinic in Sancti Spíritus region formerly called Las Villas province, where he firstly performed teaching empirically and also oral surgeon functions until 1977, when he enrolled in the Maxillofacial Surgery specialty at the Santa Clara Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital and graduated in 1980.
