5Preface
With such a vast amount of literature present in dentistry, sometimes it seems frustrating and overwhelming as being surrounded by books of all sorts providing the knowledge and yet not having the touch and how to attempt an answer in the examination. We felt the need of simple, systematized and comprehensive book to cover the maximum syllabus in shorter time.
Being an exam-oriented book, this acts as a guide and companion to neutralize the confusions and apprehensions occurring during the exams. The attempt has been made to solve long and short questions commonly asked during various university examinations over the 20 years.
It includes all the topics presented in the syllabus given by DCI in simple and easy language.
This book has been arranged in simple, small chapters illustrated with tables, charts and line diagrams which are easy to remember and reproduce during the examination.
We await the response and suggestions regarding this book for its further improvement.
