In the early Middle Ages, physicians were already oriented towards the holistic treatment of their patients. Gaspare Tagliacozzi formulated an appropriate sentence that characterizes our actions and endeavors for the patient especially, in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. This is the guiding principle to which we orient ourselves on a daily basis

"We rebuild and restore and make whole parts of the face that nature has given and fate has taken away, not only for the pleasure of the eye, but to uplift the spirit and help the soul of the sufferer"

                  Gaspare Tagliacozzi (Bologna, März 1545- November 1599, Chirurg und Anatom)
