PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION
Nothing cheers an author more than to see his or her own textbook
being used by the target audience! So it has been delightful to see
more and more undergraduate dental students,vocational dental
practitioners,general professional trainees,dental surgeons in
primary care and in the hospital service,as well as dental care
professionals in-training and post-qualification using this readily
accessible little book.
The staffat Elsevier have been delighted at the success ofthe
Second Edition at home and overseas,making the Pocketbook their
best selling dental book! It was inevitable,therefore,that a Third
Edition would be requested.We thank Michael Parkinson and
Janice Urquhart for their support and advice throughout this
project.
For this Third Edition we have,once again,expanded the size
and quality ofauthorship.We welcome to the team Professor
Jeremy Rees and Mr.John Cameron,both bringing additional
expertise in the areas ofrestorative dentistry and dento-legal
practice respectively.
In updating this edition,each author has addressed significant
change within his or her areas ofexpertise and we are grateful to
them for their enthusiasm and great industry.As with the Second
Edition,we believe that this new edition has been invigorated and
enhanced.Our aims and objectives remain the same – to educate
and inspire each member ofthe dental team,whether in-training or
post-qualification.
2006 Happy reading!

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
The primary objective ofthis pocketbook is to provide a readily
accessible source ofinformation when it is most needed,as an aide-
memoire prior to carrying out clinical tasks or to enable students
(at undergraduate and postgraduate level) to apprise themselves of
important details prior to tutorials and seminars.
The authors ofthis text are experienced clinicians and teachers
within their individual specialties and emphasis has been given to
information ofpractical clinical significance.Descriptions ofrarely
encountered conditions and situations have been kept deliberately
to a minimum.
In a publication ofthis nature,information must be presented
in a concise and at times didactic fashion.For those who read this
text and feel it could only result in superficial learning,we have
deliberately included sufficient basic information to permit
examinations to be passed.However,the desire ofan educationalist
is always to promote deep learning and the layout and content of
the text are intended to motivate and guide the reader to the
appropriate parts ofmore substantive texts,many ofwhich have
proven both inspirational and motivational for the editors and
contributors ofthis book throughout their careers.
