Preface
The idea of writing this book took shape while I was studying as a final year student in college. As
pediatric dentistry is an expanding field, the students need to read a book which is concise, to the point
and yet provide all the essential information about the subject.
The dental students face the dilemma of selecting the book even more. This book has been written
keeping in view the requirements of the students.
In part-1 of the book, I have dealt with the basics and fundamental of pediatric dentistry, this part
introduces reader to the subject.
In part-2 of the book, I have dealt with various procedures and techniques to be undertaken in the
primary dentition years—three to six years.
In part-3 of the book, I have dealt with the changes which should be offered in various dental procedures
in various aspects in the transitional years—six to twelve years.
In part-4 of the book, I had provided the information which deals with adolescence.

Acknowledgments
I always dreamt of presenting a textbook of pediatric dentistry to the students all over the country.
First and foremost I would thank "The Supreme Power God" for giving me energy, inspiration,
courage to complete this arduous task and make my dream come true in two ways: first giving me first
position in university examination of final year and second fulfilling my dream of presentation of textbook.
I acknowledge the unconditional assistance given to me in my day-to-day work, by my friend
Ms Anubha Bansal (BE in electronics and telecommunications).
I am extremely grateful to Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, New Delhi for selecting and
finalizing my script.
I am extremely thankful to members of my family who willingly co-operated and encouraged me
throughout my work.
