7Contributors 8Preface to the Second Edition
It gives us immense pleasure to write the preface for the second edition of Jaypee's Dental Dictionary. We received copious correspondence from the readers commenting about the book and giving suggestions for improvement in past 6 years since the first edition came in to existence. We also kept a record of new researches and techniques that came up in past six years.
Second edition is being divided in three sections, i.e., dictionary, appendices and colour plates. Appendices come with valuable information which will be handy for the students starting their journey in field of dentistry. Addition of latest photographs and figures will help the readers to understand the vocabulary in a better way. As this compilation is a balanced product between dictionary and encyclopaedia, we have tried to incorporate all new updates that will help the students to familiarise themselves with new vocabulary.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude towards all our contributors. We profusely thank Shri Jitender P Vij (CEO) and Mr Ankit Vij (Group President) for their support and encouragement in bringing out the second edition. Lastly but most importantly we thank Dr Ankit Sharma (Senior Editor), Mr Ashutosh Shrivastava (Assistant Editor), Mr Shekhar Bhatt (Typesetter), Mr Manoj Pahuja (Senior Graphic Designer) and Mr Pawan Kumar (Graphic Designer) of Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, New Delhi for their enthusiasm and constant effort in bringing out this compilation.
In spite of our best efforts compilation is bound to have deficiencies. We will be grateful if the readers kindly send their valuable suggestion for further improvement.

9Preface to the First Edition
The world of dental sciences has changed dramatically over the last two decades and simultaneously so has the public awareness about dental health increased many folds. To provide qualified health managers new dental colleges and superspecialities are developing fast.
All learning in science is based on education in vocabulary. Mostly dictionaries are concerned with words while encyclopedias explain the object which describes the word to be understood and used correctly. It is a balanced product of both. We have catered to the needs of postgraduate students by including definitions and diseases which they ought to know.
Editors have made special efforts to include maximum words not only related to dentistry but also all other related medical specialities which have a bearing on dental care. The dictionary has been made pictorial to make the reading more interesting and to give a visual impact to the readers.
Appendices have been added. The main objective was to collect useful and frequently used information from various other sources to make it easily available between the two covers of the book.
We are grateful to Prof Dr Harsh Mohan, a man of pathology and his daughter Dr Sugandha who have provided many of the histological slides to make the dictionary more pictorial and useful. Similarly Dr KD Tripathi who is a milestone in the field of pharmacology has been a source of constant academic encouragement to us.
We are also happy to include some line sketches by master Rohan Gupta for better elaboration of certain terms.
Lastly and most importantly we must express our debt and enduring gratitude to our publisher/family friend and guide Shri Jitendar P Vij, Shrimati Raman Vij and young commander Mr Ankit Vij who have published this book of words in four colors and on art paper at a reasonable price.
We would like to express our thanks in advance to anybody who will spare his valuable time to take the trouble to inform us of any shortcomings in this dictionary and we will surely make the necessary amendments in the next edition.
