6Contributors 7Preface
While teaching BDS students, I felt the need of a comprehensive and syllabus-oriented book for them. Keeping that in mind, I have written this book in a simplified manner, covering all the topics as per their revised syllabus. This textbook has primarily been directed to the students at undergraduate (BDS as well as MBBS) level. It is designed to be easy to read using a similar layout for each topic. The text is written in a short bulleted form with many headings so that the required information can be found readily. In addition, the text contains many boxes with salient points to assist students in quick revision at the end. A large number of colored clinical photographs have been incorporated in the text to make the subject more understandable. I have tried hard to make sure that the facts in the book are as accurate as possible, taking help from the specialists of various fields to either write or review the relevant sections.
It has been correctly said that a textbook lives through its readership. Despite the best of my efforts, some misprints or factual errors might have crept in unnoticed. I shall be grateful to the readers for giving me suggestions for improvement and pointing out mistakes that can be corrected in future.

I have relied on a lot of people for preparation of this text and I thankfully acknowledge their help.
Dr Sham Singla, Senior Professor of Surgery, PGIMS, Rohtak, has devoted his entire career to education of surgeons in training and is a very popular teacher amongst the undergraduate and postgraduate students. Apart from contributing chapters in this book, he has critically gone through the script multiple times and incorporated necessary corrections. I am highly thankful for his advice and guidance.
My wife Dr Nisha Marwah, Professor of Pathology, PGIMS, Rohtak, has contributed chapters in the book and has spent a lot of time in making corrections in the script. Her constant guidance, appreciation and support have helped me move forward at each step.
I would like to thank Ms Shruti Kirti, an outstanding IIIrd year BDS student at my institute, who devoted her time in proofreading each chapter and gave me valuable suggestions in simplifying the text. Also, Dr Shashi Pratap and Dr Jai Prakash, my postgraduate students, went out of the way to put in all the required last minute efforts for completion of the textbook.
