To Victims of Covid19 pandemic and all those frontline healthcare workers who are engaged in the fight against the disease with utmost dedication and courage

It is a pleasure and a delight for me to pen this message for the inaugural edition of the Sexually Transmissible Oral Diseases edited by Professor Prabhu.

Even from ancient times it was known that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) manifested in the mouth. For instance, syphilis and its gummatous manifestations of the oral cavity were known even during Roman times, though the infectivity and presentation of other STDs such as papilloma virus infections leading to oral cancers were a relatively recent finding. These and a plethora of other STDs well described in the book, are now known to manifest intraorally. This comprehensive compendium which brings together the relevant details of all such diseases in a practical, comprehensive and an easily assimilable format, in a single tome is likely to be a wellspring of information for dental practitioners, undergraduate students and postgraduates alike.

The book is timely from three different perspectives. First, due to the sexual promiscuity and the rampant narcotic and drug abuse, there has been an alarming increase in STDs particularly gonorrhoea and syphilis, mainly in the developing world. Second, the gradual realisation that oral health is a key to systemic health, and the importance of the oralsystemic axis by the health professions in general, and finally, the fundamental conceptual realisation that dentists are not only oral surgeons but also oral physicians who are able to advice, diagnose, care and prevent systemic diseases through a number of avenues available to them including the rapidly developing field of salivomics. Such expanded repertoire of dentistry means a deeper understanding of aetiopathogenesis of common STDs, and hence, this book will be a welcome addition to the libraries of all dental practitioners and dental schools.
