The book “How to Become a Unique Dentist” is a
collection of thoughts, experiences and advice which
allow the practitioner to achieve perfection.
Professor El-Attar is a professor of prosthodontics
at Alexandria University, Egypt and the dean of
the Pharos Dental School, Alexandria, Egypt. He
divided this guideline in nine chapters: Getting
Started, The Office, Professional Ethics, The Maestro,
Dental Implants, You and the Others, Controversies,
Challenges and Now will you be a unique dentist?
The book shows us the right way to start being
a successful dental practitioner which involves
collecting as much knowledge as you can and lots
of training. He also talks about the dental office
organization concept and the way to approach the
patient.
The success of your office depends on your
decision of the best treatment plan (with the patient’s
consent of course). If you respect the occlusion, if you
use splinting in periodontally involved teeth and if
you choose permanent prosthetic temporization, you
have all the chances to „be a good prosthodontist,
be the maestro”.
Professor El-Attar also considers that a natural
tooth is a “treasure” to be preserved by endodontic
treatment. In case the natural root cannot be saved
due to the endodontic problematic tooth he
recommends dental implants as every unique dentist
has to deal with implants.
Dental specialties are interdependent; choosing
one specialty is recommended but you have to
practice it with greater professional skill.
Only the young practitioner who carefully reads
and follows exactly the advice outlined in the current
guide can become a successful practitioner fulfilling
his dream of being “A Unique Dentist”.
