Preface

It gives us great pleasure to present our book that addresses problems with respect to the teaching and learning of oral histology. The idea to write a book focused on important details of oral histological features popped up around two years ago, when we felt there are many deficient areas in the present literature concerning the said topic. This book gives information about these features in a user‐friendly format. It contains high‐definition (HD) histological images of oral tissues with integrated text containing their introduction, key identifying histological features, and clinical significance. The textbook is intended for dental undergraduate and postgraduate students, license examination aspirants, and oral histology instructors. We strongly believe that the book will suit the needs of professionals in each of these disciplines.

We would like to mention here that we do not wish the present book to be a substitution of more general textbooks in oral histology. It is our belief that a good dental practitioner not only needs strong clinical skills, but also a solid understanding of basic sciences. Consequently, our book should be considered as providing the first step of the ladder in learning oral histology. This book is aimed at encouraging students to pursue a more exhaustive appreciation of the subject. To counter technology needs and in‐line with the digital age, a companion website for the book has also been developed.

Finally, we do not imagine ourselves to be error‐free, and would always be open to criticism. Your suggestions to improve the book are greatly appreciated.
