dynamic, indefatigable spirit of Padma Shri Dr LK Gandhi who has been a significant milestone of dental care for his kind guidance and wholehearted support
6Contributors 8Preface
The world of dental sciences has changed dramatically over the last two decades and simultaneously so has the public awareness about dental health increased many folds. To provide qualified health managers new dental colleges and superspecialities are developing fast.
All learning in science is based on education in vocabulary. Mostly dictionaries are concerned with words while encyclopedias explain the object which describes the word to be understood and used correctly. It is a balanced product of both. We have catered to the needs of postgraduate students by including definitions and diseases which they ought to know.
Editors have made special efforts to include maximum words not only related to dentistry but also all other related medical specialities which have a bearing on dental care. The dictionary has been made pictorial to make the reading more interesting and to give a visual impact to the readers.
Appendices have been added. The main objective was to collect useful and frequently used information from various other sources to make it easily available between the two covers of the book.
We are grateful to Prof Dr Harsh Mohan, a man of pathology and his daughter Dr Sugandha who have provided many of the histological slides to make the dictionary more pictorial and useful. Similarly Dr KD Tripathi who is a milestone in the field of pharmacology has been a source of constant academic encouragement to us.
We are also happy to include some line sketches by master Rohan Gupta for better elaboration of certain terms.9
Lastly and most importantly we must express our debt and enduring gratitude to our publisher/family friend and guide Shri Jitendar P Vij, Shrimati Raman Vij and young commander Mr Ankit Vij who have published this book of words in four colors and on art paper at a reasonable price.
We would like to express our thanks in advance to anybody who will spare his valuable time to take the trouble to inform us of any shortcomings in this dictionary and we will surely make the necessary amendments in the next edition.
