The Panamanian and international scientific community deeply mourns the passing of Dr. Pablo Rojas Pardini, a distinguished orthodontist, scientist, and innovator who left an indelible mark on world dentistry.
Beyond science, Dr. Rojas Pardini was a passionate nature lover and dedicated years to reforestation projects, demonstrating that his commitment to well-being extended beyond human health.
His legacy as an innovator, teacher, and human being will endure as a permanent source of inspiration for new generations of scientists, orthodontists, and entrepreneurs from Panama and around the world.
He also founded the renowned Rojas Pardini Clinic, an institution that became a benchmark for clinical and technological excellence in the region. This innovation broke paradigms by demonstrating that it was possible to achieve superior results with less invasive procedures and greater respect for patient health.
As founder and president of the Panamanian Society of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, he dedicated his life to raising the standards of the specialty in Panama.
Without a doubt, his greatest legacy is the more than 100 international patents he registered, a feat that placed Panama on the global map of medical and dental innovation.
The impact of his inventions transcended borders and was recognized with distinctions such as the National Award for Business Innovation (Senacyt-Chamber of Commerce, 2010), finalist in Innovators of America (2014), Best Professional of Latin America and the Caribbean by IOCIM (2013-2014), and Meritorious Son of the City of Panama (2019).
Among his most revolutionary contributions is the technique of "weaving" wires between teeth, a method that allowed for the correction of severe malocclusions without extractions, applying basic principles of physics and biomechanics.
His pioneering work in Neuro-Orthodontics opened new avenues for treating bruxism and Meniere's syndrome from a comprehensive dental perspective.
