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.
The colleagues listed below provided me with transparencies from their personal records, helping to extend the spectrum of disease entities presented in the book. I am most grateful to them for their generosity. Should anyone’s name inadvertently have been omitted, please accept my apologies.
