_5Foreword
Public Health Dentistry, as a discipline of dentistry is all encompassing subject and comprehensive by its nature. It is rapidly growing and expanding its horizons by imbibing the enormous research output in the last few decades. The concepts of public health dentistry are of high importance in resolving health problems at mass level. It includes such varied topics like Epidemiology, Sociology, Anthropology, Health Psychology, Health Administration, Health Economics, Behavioral Sciences, Biostatistics, Environment and Health in addition to Clinical dentistry in its folds. Expansiveness is the beauty of this subject. It propounds more holistic approach to address the current health problems.
In my observation as a teacher of dentistry in the last 30 years, many students find this subject insipid and tough nut to crack. Probably teachers need different teaching methods to drive home the message across to their students. Perhaps MCQs provide such opportunity. MCQs incite the thinking, analyzing, discriminating, decision making abilities of the students. In this process learning becomes more concrete and the knowledge gets deep rooted. Inculcating such learning behavior among present students is a human service. I believe that this book of MCQs and Viva Points in Public Health Dentistry, authored by Dr Sahana. S and Dr. Shivakumar. G.C. has every potential to instill the required knowledge and facilitate deep learning in our students. It can also help faculty in learning and recapitulating their subject knowledge.
The book has totally 40 chapters, which covers a lot of ground beginning from ‘History of Public Health’ to ‘Case History and Treatment Planning’. Author has made every attempt to capture the subject and cater to our under graduate students, Post graduate aspirants and also Postgraduate students. I wish the book to strike a positive note among the student community. My heart felt congratulations to Dr Sahana. S. and Dr Shivakumar. G.C. in the end just like to say them ‘Sky is the limit’.
