First of all, congratulations to Colette Bridgman for the award of her MBE in the New Year Honours. Anyone who has heard her speak cannot doubt her commitment and passion for better dental health and this award is well deserved for her years of ser- vice. In this issue we have the first of our supplements for 2013, focusing on implants. We have an interesting mix of cases to show you, and I hope you enjoy them and find them interesting. I’d love your feedback on these or any arti- cles that we feature in Dental Tribune – please get in touch with me lisa@healthcare- learning.com. We have a new regular contributor for 2013 – Dr Al- exander Holden. As a young dentist with interests in dental phobia and law (a heady mix!) I am sure he’ll have a lot to share with us. You’ll find him on page 8. DT
