Forewords

Writing the foreword for a book is a huge responsibility because you endorse the work to the scientific community. For this book, the responsibility increases the pleasure, and the honor of doing it is immeasurable. Let me explain: This work is a gift to the field of dentistry because it was crafted by an outstanding professional, Dr Hilton Riquieri, who excels at waxing dental morphology.

As both an experienced dental technician and a prosthodontist, Dr Hilton is able to synthesize both disciplines as few others. I was very pleased to have Dr Hilton as a doctoral student in the restorative dentistry postgraduate program at the Science and Technology Institute of São Paulo State University. He was an ideal student because the university’s function is to train dentists who have the mission of researching and spreading knowledge in Brazil and abroad.

This important work also showcases photography by Dr Rodrigo Riquieri, who is Dr Hilton’s son; he has already shown his own dedication to the profession in his laboratory and clinical work and has a very promising future. Drs Francci, Saavedra, and Viegas have all proven themselves in teaching, research, and clinical and laboratory experience, and their contributions are excellent.

However, this work attests, above all, to the leadership and synthesizing skills of Dr Riquieri in the art of teaching dental morphology. In 17 chapters, he explains step by step how to draw and sculpt dental anatomy with maximum accuracy. In these chapters, the exquisite morphology of all the teeth are developed and presented carefully, with examples from everyday life that greatly facilitate learning. What strikes me in this book is the richness of detail and the brilliant and direct way of teaching how to study, plan, and execute waxing and sculpting. This book will be very useful to students and professionals who want to improve waxing and sculpting techniques.

This book is a gift, and the field of dentistry will be grateful that—after all of the professional dental training—the authors and contributors have chosen to devote part of their lives to the creation of this scientific and technical book. Enjoy your reading!

Marco Antonio Bottino

This book is a guide that will inspire excellence in dentistry. Because of the fundamentals presented here, anyone who has dedicated themselves to the fabrication of dental prosthodontics should use it to learn the foundations of creating ideal morphology, which demands technical acumen. However, this book conveys not only the practical knowledge of morphology but also the art of its sculpture.

Dr Hilton Riquieri also demonstrates that, for every morphologic feature, there is a scientific explanation. It is immensely rewarding to see professional ability dedicated to teaching. Thus, it is with great honor that I write the foreword of a book whose pages convey much more than just words and images; they share a deep knowledge that comes only from professional experience. Dr Riquieri is an exceptional professional whose sharp insight and illustrative teaching style is evidenced throughout this book. The presentation makes the learning pleasant and easy.

This beautiful atlas describes the anatomy of each dental structure and presents step by step and in detail the execution of sculpture in wax. In addition, the author uses analogies from everyday life to elaborate ideas and concepts of considerable complexity.

Congratulations to those who have shared from their experience and wisdom to prepare this book for worldwide dentistry.
