Ambroise Paré

French surgeon Ambroise Paré was a pioneer not only in military surgery but also in forensic pathology and in the design and application of body and facial prostheses. In addition to wound treatment, organ amputation techniques, forensic pathology, and medical reporting, he performed the first applications of eye and facial prostheses in dentistry using materials such as enamel, gold, silver, porcelain, and glass. The saying “Je le pansoi, dieu le guerit” (I dressed the wound, God healed it) is attributed to him.
