Essentials of Pharmacology for Dentistry

by KD Tripathi

Pharmacology, the science of drugs (medicines), is a highly dynamic discipline with concepts and priority drugs changing rapidly. Practice of dentistry utilizes drugs both as primary treatment modality, as well as facilitator of/adjuvant to dental procedures. Dentists routinely prescribe analgesics and antibiotics, apply antiseptics and other locally acting drugs, and inject local anaesthetics. The book is divided into three sections. The first describes the general pharmacological principles with which all professionals involved in drug therapy must be conversant. The second on systemic pharmacology presents a brief account of drugs acting on various organ systems and used in the treatment of common disorders affecting these systems but are generally not prescribed by dentists. The third section covers antimicrobials and other drugs which the dentists usually prescribe or administer themselves. All chapters in the present edition have been thoroughly updated to include latest information and new drugs, while nonrelevant material has been deleted. The presentation and illustrations have been improved. Leading trade names and dosage forms of drugs generally prescribed by dentists are mentioned distinctively. Thus, the book is oriented to provide core and contemporary pharmacological knowledge which can be easily assimilated by dental students, as well as serving to help dental practitioners in treating orodental conditions.
