Kishore P. Nayak completed his BDS from Government Dental College in Bangalore, India in 1980 and subsequently his MDS in 1984. His MDS was in Operative Dentistry and Endodontics. His interest in learning oral and maxillofacial surgery took him to the United Kingdom where he worked from 1985 to 1990. During this period he obtained his FDS RCS from England and Glasgow and his FFDRCS from Ireland. On his return from England he taught Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery initially at the AB Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences in Mangalore, Ambedkar Dental College and finally a long stint at the Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences where he was the Professor and Head of the department. He gave up active teaching in November 2007. He has served on the Editorial Review Board of the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He has been the President and the General Secretary of the Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India (AOMSI). His tenure saw the AOMSI growing into a truly professional association which co-hosted the 18th International Conference on Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ICOMS) in Bangalore in November 2007. This turned out to be one of the most successful conferences in the history of the IAOMS in terms of attendance and scientific content. He is one of the founders of the Federation for Advancement of Craniofacial Esthetics ( FACE), a movement which has been instrumental in training young oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the art of orthognathic surgery in India. This is without doubt one of the reasons for the widespread use of orthognathic surgery in India. He has lectured extensively all over the world and has authored numerous contributions to scientific journals as well as chapters in textbooks. Dr. Nayak has strived over many years to raise the profile and standard of the specialty and has trained numerous young surgeons who are spread around the globe today. He is currently a consultant to the Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain Hospital where he also is associated with the Smile Train project which provided service to patients afflicted with Cleft Lip and Palate. He currently is in private practice restricted purely to maxillofacial surgery and implantology.
