First Edition: 2016

Pediatric dentistry is a branch with a very vast syllabus with its roots in all the other branches of dentistry. A comprehensive book of Multiple choice questions with an extensive coverage of the subject was the need of the time. This is one of the first book in the field of Pediatric dentistry which through its questions would not only help the MDS aspirants but also prove valuable to the undergraduates and post- graduates studying the subject. I would like to congratulate the authors Dr Puneet Goenka and Dr Nikhil Marwah for successfully covering all the aspects of the subject with their meticulous work and tireless efforts. The questions included in the book are highly informative, with accurate explanations and referencing given for each of them. I wish the authors and contributors of this book all the success for this and future endeavours.

The subject of Pedodontics is extremely vast as it comprises of essence of all the dental specialities. It is very difficult to gather complete information pertaining to this subject in a single book, specially when it comes to taking entrance examinations. Although there are a lot of textbooks in the speciality today available in the market but there is a definite lack of books pertaining to the multiple choice questions. This book has been prepared keeping in mind the recommended curriculum of Dental Council of India and most of the deemed universities of India. The USP of this book is that it not only covers the entire Pedodontics syllabus in chapterwise format but also includes last 10 years questions in the subject. This will not only help the entrance aspirants but also help the undergraduate and postgraduate students as MCQs have become an integral part of their written examinations and Viva-voce. This is an earnest attempt to equip the students with all the essential information in Pedodontics so as to help them prepare for examinations.

I would like to thank my mentors Dr Suryakant Pai and Dr Samir Dutta who have guided me throughout my professional career. I would like to show my gratitude and heart felt thanks to Dr Nikhil Marwah for his continued support and contribution for this book.
