This textbook has been written specifically to satisfy the needs of modern dental students in relation to basic and applied pharmacology and dental therapeutics. It should also be a useful revision text for dental practitioners who wish to bring themselves up to date with current practices. The book contains a substantial section on the pharmacology and therapeutics of drugs which, although not prescribed by a dental practitioner, are medication likely to be taken by patients who attend for dental treatment. It also includes special sections on adverse drug reactions, drug interactions of special relevance to dentistry and the non-medical use of drugs and other social problems including AIDS.
