“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”

Sir Isaac Newton

Thank you is a small word which would never completely convey the sense of gratitude and regards which I feel for each of the following colleagues who have made this Clinical Atlas of Retreatment in Endodontics, first edition a reality.

We all start and stay in a state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless motivated, inspired or compelled to become active by forces/people around us. Editing this book has really been an eye opener and made me learn a lot and appreciate the presence of everyone’s support around me.

First and foremost, my sincere gratitude to Prof DYD Samarawickrama for his belief in me and motivating me to make this dream a reality. Also, I would like to thank my Dean Dr. Rahul Arora, Vice Dean Dr. Nutayla Al Harthy and Prof. Mohammed Ismaily for trusting in this project and supporting me to make this dream a day.

To start is easy but to carry on is difficult. My sincere thanks to Dr. Aylin Baysan, for always sending me that positive energy and force that keep me going at all times.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each one of my teachers who have helped me in my growth as an endodontist. With folded hands I bow forward to my Gurus Dr. S. Datta Prasad, Dr. Pravin Kumar, Dr. Himanshu Aeran, Dr. Vineeta Nikhil, Dr. Himanshu Sharma and Dr. Shibani Grover.

I would like to specially thank few people who have played a major role in my growth as an academician and as a clinician: Dr. Anil Kohli for always blessing me with his advice, Dr. Sanjay Miglani for being my mentor and a constant source of inspiration and support at every stage, Dr. K.S Banga for always motivating me to do better, Dr. V. Gopikrishna for always inspiring me with his wisdom and giving me one take home message in every interaction, and Dr. Vivek Hegde for always pushing me to give the best to my patients.
