It is a true pleasure to be invited to write a foreword for this comprehensive new textbook on implant dentistry, a fast evolving discipline ranging from basic biological fundamentals to advanced clinical principles. The responsibility is large to write a new book on dental implants and to cover in detail topics such as digital planning, patient selection, implant and regenerative biomaterials, surgical and restorative steps, oral maintenance, follow‐up, and the diagnoses of implant problems. The Editor has successfully managed to do so and has compiled a clear and practical guide for the clinician.

I welcome his timely efforts as the implant field has developed so rapidly that it is hard for any clinician, young or old, to stay abreast of new developments and not to forget the foundations that made this field possible. The master clinician behind the book is one of the true experts in implant dentistry. Dr. Chris Ho gained his extensive clinical and evidence‐based experience over many years practising and teaching the field. He completed basic implant training as a general practitioner, then moved to advanced restorative training as a prosthodontist, and advanced surgical training with global experts in implant, bone, and soft tissue surgery. It takes that kind of discipline and devotion to master a complex field and enjoy the day‐to‐day implant practice, treating patients without stress and with consistent success. This book documents the task and will be a reference for many years to come.

I have gotten to know Chris as a dedicated and passionate clinician, educator, author, and friend over the many years that he has been vital to the gIDE Master Clinician Program. It is important for every dentist, from young graduate to experienced practitioner, to understand that it takes that kind of devotion to master a technique and become an implant expert. Many years of learning and training bring good and bad days, with learning curves that range from easy to steep, but the passion and discipline never disappears in the journey to become a Master Clinician in implant dentistry.

I believe that this book will be part of the journey for any dentist interested in improving and mastering their dental implant therapy.

Enjoy, train hard, and don't forget to have fun while learning.
