Preface

Our world has been always in a constant change; things we used to do only 10 or 20  years ago could be obsolete, proven wrong, or replaced with new ideas. This applies to so many things, and the medical and dental world is no exception into this. This fast pace of change has implication to any profession, and without any doubt, every dentist has experienced this in his or her career. Dentistry as it was taught 20 or more years ago was more conventional; it was considered as a separate discipline that only borders medicine. Dentistry is still taught as a profession for people with extreme good manual dexterity; most dentist can remember the dental school admission requirement of sculpting a soap bar. More and more emphasis is given to other qualities like: • A desire to learn: Having a willingness to learn new things and a desire to improve your skills is a great trait. This is the best way to cope with constant change. • Good problem-solving skills: Problem-solving skills are an essential trait for a dentist. Not every patient will have a dental/medical problem with a clear-cut solution. Sometimes a dentist needs to think outside the box in order to determine the best treatment approach for the patient. Becoming a dentist takes an interest in science and a desire to help people.
