It is with sincere pleasure that I have accepted to present this very interesting volume dedicated to esthetic medicine in dentistry, the latest prestigious undertaking by my friend Alessio Redaelli.

I met Alessio in 2008 when through the efforts of Professors Favero and Cocito the Master’s program in the esthetics of the oral and perioral tissues in dentistry was introduced in Padua. The preparation and great passion Alessio has demonstrated on more than one occasion find their rightful coronation in this work that promises to be an indispensable aid for training the modern dentist.

The increase in quality of life and life expectancy in the population with the resulting prolonging of the need for a sentimental sphere even by the older segment of the population has resulted in a growing demand by our patients for an integral esthetic result that is not limited exclusively to an excellent dental restoration but that also involves the overall esthetics of the perioral tissues. From this springs the need for dentists to know the possibilities and limits of esthetic surgery to support and perfect their work.

In fact, in this volume, as well as a section dedicated specifically to exclusively dental treatments, through extensive and carefully chosen illustrations there is also a complete panorama of the possibilities offered by the use of peels, fillers and botulinum toxin in reshaping ad rejuvenating the lower third of the face.

Finally, I believe that particular praise must be given to the concept of a quick guide by Dr. Redaelli, according to whom learning about the potential of these techniques is not intended to be an invitation to the dentist to “change jobs” but, on the contrary, should represent the stimulus to interdisciplinary collaboration between the dentist and the esthetic surgeon/physician, something now indispensable for anyone who hopes to offer his patients the best results possible.
