Foreword
In today’s fast paced world where Perceive…Conceive…Believe…and Achieve
are the mantras of success, it is imperative to be using streamlined and
consolidated knowledge at every possible step.
This publication is a clear outcome of much deliberation between the
authors Dr Pradnya and Dr Mamatha and their senior colleagues who have
passionately dedicated themselves to the field of “Community Dentistry”.
The authors of this book are academicians having an impressive track record
and an absolute exposure to the course curriculum as well as examination
pattern.
This publication is impressive in terms that, it is systematically handled
wherein there are a set of questions followed by the answers for different
chapters in the subject. I am sure that this book will certainly help the student
community to excel in their internal assessments and examination for the
subject of Preventive and Community Dentistry.
I congratulate the authors and wish them all the very best in all their
professional endeavors.

Preface
There exist quite a many comprehensive books in the field of Preventive and
Community Dentistry, and more and more published year on year; what is
not easily accessible, is in fact a good compilation of the key topics to prepare
for taking Under Graduate exam in the subject of Preventive and Community
Dentistry.
With this very thought in mind, the journey to publish a good consolidation
of the key topics began. The objective was to progress and achieve success on
the following two axes—First: Focus on the key topics, filtered and well aligned
with the University syllabus. Second: Provide answers to the filtered questions
with simplistic precision, making it easy to understand as well as grasp with
ease.
We hope that this compilation will provide you as a student, an easy access
to informative material useful for the examination. Accept our best wishes
and good luck for your examination and future.
