- Book 1 of 3: Textbooks of Dental Education
This book was written with the ambition of serving as a comprehensive textbook on dental education. Although the field itself has a long history, for reasons that are not entirely clear, truly comprehensive textbooks devoted to dental education remain surprisingly difficult to find.
There may be many reasons for this. One possible explanation lies in the tradition of medical and dental education itself, which has long been rooted in apprenticeship—the transmission of knowledge and skills from one expert to another. As a result, there may historically have been relatively little systematic consideration of how best to teach larger numbers of students effectively.
It is uncertain whether there has ever been a clear consensus on what exactly constitutes the discipline of dental education, or what its academic aims should be. Nevertheless, I believe that education within any specialized field begins with a simple and fundamental question: how can we teach that field well to our students?
What makes this question increasingly difficult is the extraordinary speed at which the world around us—and the technologies within it—continues to change. In many educational settings, traditional methods are still followed simply because they are familiar. Yet those who are responsible for educating future dental professionals, who in turn will bear responsibility for the oral health of people around the world, should possess at least a basic understanding of what we variously call education, educational technology, and teaching methodology.
It is in this spirit that this book was written. In a field where comprehensive textbooks remain scarce, I have attempted to present the most fundamental knowledge using the clearest and most basic terminology possible.
As I have noted in this preface, this book may be an imperfect piece of work, but I am convinced that it can nevertheless represent a meaningful—and, I hope, beautiful—beginning. Education itself is not about transforming the imperfect into the perfect; rather, it is about helping what is imperfect become more complete.
This book, too, is far from perfect. Yet it may be regarded as a bold attempt to take a first step into territory that cannot be explored unless someone is willing to move first. Like the “first penguin” that ventures into uncertain waters before the rest of the group, someone must be willing to take that initial leap.
And this book is intended to be such a first step.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
