However, the situation changes with the introduction of a new method or product. In order to gain the requisite skill for perform- ing a new technique, it may be enough to participate in practical courses. Using a new biomaterial for regeneration or sinus floor elevation may instead require small changes in technique. How- ever, this may represent a substantial change in biology because biomaterials do not have the same response during healing and do not achievethe same results. When we have doubts about the quality of a new technique or a new material, we often ask for the opinion of experts and we trust their advice. It would, however, be better to be already well pre- pared so that we may gain greater value from consultations with experts aboutthe issue ofinterest. Only through continued updating is it possible to gain the knowl- edgetohelpusmakeindependentchoicesregardingmaterialsand methodsto be used in ourdailypractice and, indeed,the Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation was born out of a desire to update clinicians regarding newtechniques and materials. As said above, it is easyto drive a car. However, it may be useful to knowhowthe carfunctions and howto fix itwhen it does notwork properly.
