As students of dentistry, we have become increasingly aware of the fact, that to execute the art of dentistry on those who need it, we need to have a very sound and precise clinical and diagnostic approach. Here, in this book, I have tried to present the format in which a dental case should be handled, in a simplified and systemic manner. As the author of this book, I hope that this book is sufficiently comprehensive to guide the reader to a perfect diagnosis. It should, however, be noted that the contents in this book are very precise and the readers are advised to use it along with the other standard dental literature and the guidance of their teachers.
