My warmest thanks and gratitude are extended to all those who helped in many different ways to make this book possible.

First, I would like to thank C. Kittas, professor of histology, P. Anastasiadis, associate professor of orofacial surgery, A. Katsambas, associate professor of dermatology, and C. Bartsokas, professor of pediatrics, for their useful comments on the text in the subjects of their respective specialties.

Dr. Nikos Lygidakis and Dr. Marina Laskari, pediatric dentist and orthodontist, respectively, wrote the chapter on dental defects, and I thank them for their diligent work.

I am particularly grateful to Stathis S. Papavasiliou, associate professor of endocrinology at the University of Crete, Greece, and Crispian Scully, professor of oral medicine at the University of London, England, for their critical review of the text. I would also like to express my gratitude to the dentists and physicians who entrusted me with their young patients, thus giving me the opportunity to collect the material for the present edition.

Finally, I am grateful to my wife for her constant support, sympathy, and understanding during the efforts involved in writing the book.
