FOREWORD
I have great pleasure in writing to this foreword for the book
“Clinical Manual for Oral Medicine and Radiology” by my students
Dr Ravikiran Ongole and Dr Praveen BN.
The authors have taken tremendous pains in preparing this
book, focusing attention on evaluation of various oral and facial
abnormalities as well as basic aspects of dental radiology. They
have maintained simplicity and readability that would help any
beginner and expert alike enjoy reading and understanding.
This book has been very thoughtfully divided into 2 parts—
Oral Medicine and Radiology, each of which has logical sequence
of sections. The book has the principle of “small things add to
perfection but perfection is not a small thing”. I congratulate
Dr Ravikiran and Dr Praveen for this fine contribution and wish
and hope the book finds the deserved use and popularity.

FOREWORD
ORAL MEDICINE is a specialty that deals with study of diagnosis
and medical management of oral soft tissue diseases, facial
pain, oral diseases in medically compromised patients, diagnosis
of systemic diseases on the basis of their oral and dental
manifestations, and impact of systemic diseases on the tissues
of oral cavity.
Many books are available as text and reference in the
subject. However, there has been a need for a comprehensive
manual, detailing the ways and means of collecting scientific
information and its application in diagnosis and management of
Oral disorders.
I am sure the book “Clinical Manual for Oral Medicine and
Radiology” fulfills the need to a large extent. To address these
shortcomings and with a view to helping students, Dr Ravikiran
Ongole and Dr Praveen Birur have taken up the task of writing
the manual.
The manual is specially prepared to help the students of
undergraduate studies in Dentistry. Emphasis is laid on step-by-
step examination protocol in the examination of each and every
part of tissues in the oral cavity.
I am sure this manual will be very useful and handy for day-
to-day reference in Oral Medicine, Diagnosis and Radiology.
