Preface to the first edition
Oral Pathology is an important branch of dentistry and although
there are few atlases available in the subject, “ A Color Atlas of
Oral Pathology For Dental Students” has been written with a
views to present the subject to the students in a more simplified but
comprehensive manner.
We hope the book will fulfill the need of the students by giving
them relevant guidance in their day – to – day learning process as
well as during their preparation for examination and above all,
with the book in hand, students will feel the subject easy to handle.
As no one is perfect in absolute sense. We also humbly accept
our limitations regarding shortcomings in the book and therefore
we sincerely welcome the valuable suggestions from our senior
colleagues and students regarding what further should be done to
improve this book in other editions.
