I am pleased to write the foreword for the second edition of the book titled Principles and Practice of Pedodontics by Dr Arathi Rao. The previous edition of this book has done extremely well and has fulfilled the need for a concise and comprehensive book as reflected by its enormous popularity.
The second edition is a brilliant upgrade; with extensive illustrations and an additional chapter on Medical Emergencies in Dental Clinic, which is vital for the practice of dentistry.
I would like to congratulate the author for bringing out the second edition in such a short span of time, I wish her good success in all her endeavours.

6PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
Hello readers, I hope the first edition was very informative and thank you for that immense support. As is always, betterment and continual improvement should be ones goal. Keeping this in mind, I have tried to gather all the shortcoming of the first edition and improvised on this second edition.
The second edition comprises of 31 chapters, designed in a way that makes it easier to understand by an undergraduate student of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry.
Additional chapter “Medical Emergencies in Dental Clinic” has been included in this edition. Understanding and management of such emergencies is very essential in day-to-day practice of dentistry for children.
Illustrations in the second edition are plenty making it easier to understand and remember. There are about 610 beautiful and practically helpful photographs which I am sure will make reading easy and very interesting.
Extra references are included as ‘Further Reading’ for those with an extensive thirst for knowledge.
Arathi Rao
7PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
Pedodontics has always been a subject which is interesting but very vast. It is very difficult to find a book that is complete and suited for the undergraduate students, which is comprehensive, yet easy to understand. I have tried to cover all the topics in compliance with the syllabus of various universities in a very easy to understand way with adequate illustrations. Some extra useful information is given in separate boxes which makes it easy to read and remember. This book is aimed at helping the undergraduate students to have a better knowledge of Pedodontics and to reproduce the same during the exams.
I would request the readers to send their valuable suggestions and advice to me.
Arathi Rao
