It is a proud moment and a great pleasure to see one of our talented graduates writing the Short Textbook of Endodontics.
Aarti Daswani's strong will and passion for last several years after graduation has given a wonderful shape to the final content of this textbook. Aarti Daswani has made an excellent attempt at making the indispensable knowledge of Endodontics easier to understand for the students as well as clinicians. The unique feature of this textbook is the mind-maps in each chapter, which should help in summarizing and memorizing during examinations.
The meticulously prepared content will further help as an invaluable reference for the students as well as clinicians. The language of the textbook is very simple and the diagrammatic representation makes it simpler.
I am confident that the book will go a long way in clearly simplifying and developing interest amongst the readers.

Preface
What led me to the idea of writing Short Textbook of Endodontics is an astonishing realization that the field of Endodontics has undergone sea changes in the last few years. Endodontic treatment has come a long way from what it was till about two decades ago. Not only dental materials and instruments have become technically superior, but also the concepts, procedures and attitudes of clinicians have acquired a modern outlook. Technology has made Endodontic treatment swift, convenient, easier and interesting.
In addition to incorporating the new developments in Endodontics, Short Textbook of Endodontics has been designed to cover each and every aspect of Endodontics in a concise yet comprehensive manner. Considering the fact that time is a critical factor in today's competitive and busy world, there is no doubt that reading big fat textbooks to get through the examinations is an uphill task for the students. However, remembering the information is important and this requires repeated reading and revision. This book is expected to make reading Endodontics interesting and a fun-filled experience through the use of different memory improvement techniques. Purpose of this book is not to serve as replacement of standard textbook but to complement the textbook and be used solely for revision.
Thus, Short Textbook of Endodontics is a:
- Memory aid: That helps you memorize, retain and reproduce the required information of the basic texts.
- Rapid revision guide: That helps you save time and quickly revise the subject while preparing for the examinations.
Unique feature of this book is inculcating learning through “Mind-maps”, a concept introduced by Tony Buzan, popular Psychology author and television personality. A mind-map is a diagram used to visually organize information. This diagramming tool can be used to generate, visualize, structure and classify ideas and as an aid to studying and organizing information in a concise yet comprehensive manner. Mind-maps used in this book act as a quick learning aid to the ever-expanding world of Endodontics. Of course, it goes without saying that mind-maps are just meant to help the reader remember all relevant points of a topic and should not be reproduced in the examination papers as the same may not be acceptable.
The general practitioners can use this book to train their mind to remember what next in the course of performing Endodontic procedures. The book will serve as a foundation for sound theoretical knowledge, based on which practitioners can perform better in a given clinical situation.
Writing this book would not have been possible without contributions from multitude of people including my college teachers, eminent Endodontists and general dentists, computer experts and artists.
“If you cannot explain it simply, you do not understand it well enough”—Albert Einstein.
Through this book, I have made a sincere attempt to simplify the subject of Endodontics based on my understanding and clinical experience of seven years. I hope it will be useful to the readers.
I look forward to your suggestions, contributions and comments on Short Textbook of Endodontics (First edition) for future additions and improvements.
Aarti Daswani
