This book is for undergraduate and postgraduate students of the subject, clinicians dealing with oral and maxillofacial pathologies as well as researchers working in the field of head and neck pathology. This book is a compilation of very commonly encountered but less explored topic of “collagen disorders”. We very commonly come across certain collagen diseases which include gingival enlargements, dentinogenesis imperfect, oral submucous fibrosis etc. However, we deal with them with superficial knowledge and skills. Their deep etiopathogenesis lies in collagen dysfunction which if studied properly can lead us to find better treatment modalities and thereby can cure disease.
