Acknowledgements

This book is a culmination of 4 years’ work. Our dream was to realise a comprehensive textbook in oral medicine of international standing, and this would not have been possible without the expert contributions and significant input from luminary contributing authors, colleagues, mentors and friends from around the world. We thank the contributing authors for their dedication and patience while we worked through multiple versions of revised and edited chapters to produce a product of the highest standard. We are grateful to those who were willing to participate in such a massive undertaking, to give generously of their time and resources, and to join us in an international coming together of knowledge, expertise and collegiality in our chosen discipline. The process has been both rewarding and instructive.

The comprehensiveness and clinical usefulness of this book is enhanced by the many illustrations, clinical images, radiographs and photomicrographs generously supplied by many colleagues from all around the world. We are indebted to our many colleagues who have shared their cases so generously in an effort to improve the text, and they have been credited in the legends for their contributions. In particular we would like to thank Dr Hala Al Janaby for her original hand drawn illustrations throughout the text and for the stunning front cover, Dr. Andy Whyte for the many detailed radiographic images he has provided, and Dr. Robert Anthonappa for the many cases related to paediatric dentistry. Special thanks also to Drs. Rudolf Boeddinghaus, Marie Matias, Kurt Gebauer, Marianna Villarroel Dorrego, Ajay Parihar, Tim Hodgson, Chady Sader, Chris Van Vliet, Chris Dhepnorrarat, Amanda Phoon Nguyen, Lalima Tiwari, and Qutaibah Alfadalah. We are also thankful to all our patients who have allowed us to care for them, but also allowed us to document their cases for presentation in this book. Their contributions are a reminder of why we do what we do.

We would like to thank our assistant staff Jane Burnell, Elai Justo and Maya Janik for their dedicated editing, referencing and overall assistance, and Penny Comans for the provision of articles. We acknowledge the staff at Springer Nature for their hard work, organisation and dedication to this project including Karin Bartsch, Rebecca Urban, Tanja Maihoefer, Wilma McHugh, Sussane Friedrichsen, Alison Wolf, Shruti Datt, and Sharmila Thirumaniselvan.

Finally, we are eternally indebted to our families for their love, support, and patience. Over the 4-year lifespan of this book, we have spent significant portions of time away from them writing and editing this comprehensive text. They have endured our neglect while we simultaneously received their encouragement. Their understanding of our passion for our specialty, and their tolerance for our desire to complete this project, are equally appreciated.
