In the recent years there is clearly upsurge of advancement in the basic and clinical sciences especially in the field of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics which has brought in numerous innovations and improvements in the practice of Dentistry. It has also become a mainstay and major chunk of dental practice for every practitioner today. Acquainting hands-on skills and correlating it with anatomy, use of materials, handling instruments in Preclinical Conservative Dentistry goes a long way in providing strong foundation for every dental student. Besides, before a dental student is exposed to clinical setup, he should also be familiar with basic etiquettes and operatory management for not only successful outcome but greater patient satisfaction. The Editors of the book Dr Nisha Garg and Dr Amit Garg has very painstakingly compiled all these information in the “Textbook of Preclinical Conservative Dentistry”. The publishing of third edition of the book in a short span is a testimony of its useful acceptance and popularity amongst students widely.
A dedicated efforts has been put in by the contributing authors in systematically sectioning the book into 12 chapters covering varied range of topics from fundamental to acquiring skills in preparations and material management. Most of the contributors are senior faculty and domain experts having brought collective excellence which is the hallmark of the textbook. The contributors have covered these topics in a simple language, illustrations diagrams and interpretation of real photographs to make it user friendly and attractive.
The text would be extremely useful in preparing the students with sequence of procedures carried out in practice making learning very easy. The undergraduate students would find the updated contents in the present edition very easy to assimilate preparing them well for clinical practice.
I congratulate all the contributors and wish many more editions of the publications.

Preface to the Third Edition
Coming with the 3rd edition of the Textbook of Preclinical Conservative Dentistry, we would like to express our appreciation in a kind manner for the previous editions that were accepted by dental students across the country. We begin with thanking God, who gave us the power to believe in our passion and pursue our dreams. We wouldn't have achieved this without having faith in you, Almighty.
The scope of the 3rd edition is basically simple yet comprehensive which serves as an introductory for dental students. This book covers basic tooth anatomy, cutting instruments, principles of tooth preparation, dental materials and their manipulation so as to have fundamental knowledge before handling patients in clinics.
Emphasis is laid upon the language, which is simple, understandable and exclusively designed for beginners in conservative dentistry. The line diagrams are an expressive interpretation of tooth preparation procedures, which are worked upon and simplified to render a more comparable form to real photographs.
In an attempt to improve the book for better clarification of the subject, many eminent personalities were invited to edit and put down the important chapters in the form of text and photographs. We are grateful to Dr P Karunakar, Dr Lora Mishra, Dr Mahima Tilakchand, Dr Mohan Bhuvaneswaran, Dr Prashant Bhasin, Dr Sanjay Miglani for providing us photographs related to preclinical and clinical work for better understanding of the subject.
We fall short of words for Dr JS Mann, Dr Neetu Jindal, Dr Renu Aggarwal for critically evaluating the chapters and bringing them in their best form.
We offer our humble gratitude and sincere thanks to Mr Vikram Bhojia (Secretary, Bhojia Trust) for providing a healthy and encouraging environment for our work.
We would like to express our thanks to our colleagues for their ‘ready to help’ attitude, constant guidance and positive criticism which helped in the improvement of the book.
We are grateful to Hu-Friedy, GC Fuji, Coltene Whaledent and Dentsply for using their images in our book.
We hope that all these modifications will be appreciated and it yields a book that is valuable for preclinical dentistry.

Preface to the First Edition
Operative dentistry is one of the oldest branches of dental sciences forming the central part of dentistry as practiced in primary care. It occupies the use of majority of dentist's working life and is a key component of restorative dentistry. The subject and clinical practice of conservative dentistry continues to evolve rapidly as a result of improved understanding of etiology, prevention and management of common dental diseases. The advances and developments within the last two decades have drastically changed the scope of this subject. But before taking professional training, gathering basic knowledge along with operating skill is mandatory.
The main objective of this book is to provide students with the knowledge required while they are developing necessary clinical skills and attitude in their undergraduate training in conservative dentistry and endodontics. We have tried to cover wide topics like morphology of teeth, cariology, different techniques, instruments and materials available for restorations of teeth along with the basics of endodontics.
So we can say that after going through this book, the student should be able to:
- Sit properly while operating and be able to organize their operating environment efficiently
- Understand the morphology of teeth and differentiate one tooth from another
- Chart teeth
- Understand basics of cariology, its prevention and conservative management
- Tell indications and contraindications of different dental materials
- Apply modern pulp protective regimens
- Select suitable restorative materials for restoration of teeth
- Understand the basics of endodontic treatment like what are the indications of endodontic treatment, basic instruments, access preparation, biomechanical preparation and obturation of root canal system.
