Abstract

It is difficult to summarize en a few pages the brilliant life of a person honoring the
stomatology sciences in Cuba and in Latin America. For everybody knew him, the
professor Rigoberto Otaño Lugo was always a symbol of camaraderie, diplomacy
and politeness with everybody. Present paper is a historical review to collect
biographical data more general of the deceased professor of the stomatology
Faculty of the University of La Habana, Cuba. To this end authors interviewed in an
open way to colleagues and relatives shared with him many years of work. The
documentary sources included the staff file of such academic institution.
Information was organized taking into account four basic features: its political and
teaching-assisting performance, its scientific activity in the international scenario of
the stomatology, as well as the medals received. Its simplicity and faith in the
human improvement were distinctive qualities. Its wide smile and its maxim of
never to hurt to nobody will be always remembered for all colleagues and friends.
