Foreword
Retreating an endodontic case can be quite challenging and the editor, Dr. Viresh Chopra, has masterfully categorized all the permutations of retreatment into different chapters with the emphasis on illustrating every point with his contributors.
The chapter on surgical vs nonsurgical endodontic retreatment provides a good discipline in treatment‐planning. Case selection (i.e., good judgement) is a critical issue because not every case previously treated (and failing) should be retreated; sometimes extraction is indeed the better choice.
The exciting new surgical endodontic technique using a 3D template for guided osteotomy and retro sealing apexes is explained and illustrated here very well—this novel approach will become much more popular once endodontists have the equipment and training to perform these conservative and effective surgical procedures.
I applaud Dr. Chopra for editing this richly illustrated book that should be in the library of every endodontist… and a round of applause to the contributors!

Foreword
Contemporary endodontology is reliant on the sharing of evidence‐based knowledge and this atlas adroitly brings together the work of a number of international contributors who are congratulated for collaboratively addressing many of the clinical considerations and challenges faced during endodontic retreatment.
The inclusion of QR codes and links to the numerous helpful clinical video clips on the companion website is of significant additional benefit in demonstrating a range of operative procedures.
As editor Dr Chopra is to be congratulated for adeptly harmonising this well illustrated resource that will no doubt serve as an excellent reference guide for general practitioners with an interest in Endodontology and in particular to postgraduate students and endodontists who wish to enhance and refine their approach to endodontic retreatment.

Preface
When Dr. Viresh Chopra asked me to provide the Preface for his Clinical Atlas of Retreatment in Endodontics, I was very surprised. After all, the Preface is done traditionally by the author himself or herself. However, he had compelling reasons for inviting me, he said. A few years ago, he discussed with me the idea of producing a book on Endodontics.
