A Practical Guide

Writing the foreword of a book generally represents a moment of joy and satisfaction. These feelings are made even greater as my personal professional consideration and fondness for the Authors of this volume is highly remarkable. In this setting, I like to remember the words of a master of our discipline, Prof. Adelfio Elio Cardinale, who thought that a new book represents ‘‘a small lantern that is lit up within the endless roads of science’’. The ongoing increase of clinical and physiopathological knowledge, associated to the turbulent improvement of technology, allowed for a greater diffusion of new diagnostic tools, such as the cone-beam computed tomography.
