Foreword

Dental trauma is a core topic in both undergraduate and postgraduate education within Endodontology. As a consequence, there is a clear need for books that summarise the contemporary scientific evidence as well as the best clinical practice in a format that is understandable and easy to follow. This new book, Dental Trauma at a Glance, fulfils that need and is a timely addition to the literature and an excellent resource for those searching for information.

Traumatic dental injuries are unplanned, and they create unique challenges for dentists and other health care practitioners. Dental Trauma at a Glance provides all the information required to manage such injuries. The chapters in the book are logically arranged to mirror a patient journey, and the intuitive layout of each chapter walks the reader through the management of all forms of adult dental trauma.

The authors of this textbook have gone to great lengths to illustrate every chapter with real clinical examples and clear illustrations. The identical format of each chapter aids readability and allows problem‐solving when traumatic dental injuries present in a step‐by‐step logical process.

Two specific chapters worth mentioning are ‘Features of luxation injuries and principles of repositioning’ as well as ‘Follow‐up and splint removal.’ The authors firmly believe there is a right way and wrong way to do everything, and when the pressure of unfamiliar acute dental trauma becomes all the more real, these critical chapters will ensure the best clinical practice can be followed.

The simplicity of the book transcends all clinical backgrounds, from undergraduate to specialist. In the words of Einstein – ‘if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.’
