Our atlas aims to be such a good teacher. Almost every photomicrograph in this atlas is accompanied with a schematic diagram that makes identifying different features easy. We have closely adhered to Orban’s Oral Histology and Embryology in terms of content arrangement. We would advise our readers to use this atlas in conjunction with the textbook to understand better.

We have tried to incorporate as many pictures as possible at this point of time. Being in its first edition, we feel there is sufficient scope for improvement, especially in terms of quantity of content. Readers are the best critics, and comments, criticisms or suggestions are always welcome. They will only help us improve and make this book better. It is our hope that staff and students alike will benefit from this book.
