Basavaraj Subhashchandra Phulari [email protected] AAccckkknnnooowwwllleeedddgggmmmeeennntttsss Writing history of the oldest specialty of dentistry and as fascinating as orthodontics at that, was a herculean task. For writing history of any field, even it requires the author/historian to be present at that specific time and place of the event that has taken place, which is practically not possible. An event of today becomes history tomorrow. As we unravel and cherish the history of yester- years, a new history would be shaping today. In the light of this practicality, I do agree that none of the chapters in the book is directly written by me. I have drawn generously from the existing literature about the subject in the form of various books, journal articles, research papers and thesis, etc. In many of the chapters, literature about a specific event or person/researcher is kept as it appears in its original literature so as to maintain authenticity and also not to inadvertently twist the history. Many of the illustrations of the orthodontic appliances and photographs of eminent researchers used in this book are facsimiles of the pictures that appear in the existing literature about the subject. I hereby humbly acknowledge all the authors of various orthodontic books, articles, thesis, seminars, etc., whose works inspired the birth of this project. The list of the literature used for the preparation of this project is given at the end of the book under the heading of suggested reading. I also gratefully acknowledge all the professors, teachers and postgraduate students of the faculty from various dental institutions in India and abroad who have contributed directly or indirectly to this exhaustive piece of work. My special thanks to my beloved wife, Dr Rashmi GS, Reader and Postgraduate Guide, Department of Oral Pathology, Manubhai Patel Dental College and Hospital and Oral Research Institute, Vadodara, Gujarat, India, for her valuable critical comments during the preparation of the manuscript, editorial assistance and proofreading. I take this wonderful opportunity to thank Dr Rajendrasinh Rathore, Chairman of Manubhai Patel Dental College and Hospital and Oral Research Institute, Vadodara, for his inspirational support during this endeavor and throughout my career. I also thank Dr Yashraj Rathore, Trustee, Manubhai Patel Dental College and Hospital and Oral Research Institute, Vadodara, for encouraging me during this project. I owe a debt of gratitude to Professor (Dr) US Krishna Nayak, Dean Academics, AB Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, Mangalore, Karnataka, India, for his continuous encouragement in all my endeavors and for providing foreword to this book. I am indebted to Dr Anil Shah for all the help and encouragement I have received from him during the formation of the Chapter 7—History of Dental Lasers and their Applications in Orthodontics in the book.
