fm5Foreword
There are a lot of books on periodontology. Why is this one special? We can think of two reasons.
First, it's good. The authors have done a thorough analysis of the most important and basic topics of periodontology and present a gist of those in this book.
Second, even though it's a handbook, it's comprehensive enough dealing with important aspects clearly and efficiently.
This book touches upon all the relevant topics that undergraduate students and dental hygienist students will find very easy to read and understand.
I congratulate Dr PL Ravishankar and Dr L Chandrasekhar for being able to explain important aspects in a very simple yet comprehensive manner.

fm6Preface
The purpose in the making of this book is to provide ease of understanding, quick reference, and particularly aimed for undergraduates from the examination point of view.
A great emphasis has been made to include all important short answers according to question papers of various universities.
As the textbooks are made in huge volumes, it is difficult to refer the chapters during examination time.
This book is a supportive guide for undergraduates who want to succeed in their professional course.
