6CONTRIBUTORS 7FOREWORD
It gives me great pleasure in writing this foreword for the second edition of the book Textbook of Endodontics which is quite popular among the undergraduate and postgraduate students across the globe. It is reflection of a book's success when its second edition is made available in short span of time. The first edition of this book has proved to be a best seller largely due to emergence as comprehensive textbook on the subject of endodontics when there was actual need for the same.
The hallmark of this book is an extensive picture-wise coverage of the vast subject of endodontics in accordance with syllabus of Dental Council of India. When going through the pages of this book, I found that authors have made sincere attempt to present a concise panorama of various aspects of endodontics. I am sure that owing to its umpteen illustrations, clinical photographs, simple language and in-depth explanation of every aspect of subject including the recent advances, this book is definitely appropriate for a thorough knowledge in the field of endodontics.
This edition deserves a hearty congratulations for all the efforts and hard work, the authors have undertaken. I am sure that this book will guide the students in gaining an insight into the vast field of endodontics. It is with great pride that I wish Dr Nisha Garg and Dr Amit Garg all that's best for the success of this venture.

9PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
The amount of literature available in dentistry today is vast. Endodontics being no exception. However, during both our graduation as well as postgraduation we always felt the need for a book which would help us to revise and update our knowledge. When we were doing undergraduation, there were no Indian authored books on Endodontics. We were thus motivated to frame a specialized, precise, concise, easy to read and remember yet, up-to-date Textbook of Endodontics.
The line diagrams are in an expressive interpretation of endodontic procedures, which are worked upon and simplified to render them more comprehensive and comparable with real photographs. These illustrations (around 1200) are easy to remember and reproduce during examinations.
Emphasis is laid upon the language which is simple, understandable and exclusively designed for undergraduates, postgraduates, general practitioners and teachers in the field.
It took us more than three years to accomplish the arduous task of writing this book. This thrust for knowledge led us to link everywhere, where we could medline journals, books and more.
Nevertheless, a never-ending approach and internal craving of mind and soul finally resulted in publication of this book. God perhaps gave us some ability and showered His light on us, guiding us for this task.
Till the last week before the publication of this book, we were frantically looking for loopholes, missing information and any important updates we might have missed out. To the best of our knowledge, we did everything we could. But for knowledge, one life is not enough. The sky is the limit.
We await the response of this first edition, which would improve us in the next editions to come.
