7Foreword
This book is a model for merging two intimately integrated sciences—oral diagnosis and pharmacology. It is a very helpful guide to dental practitioners since it relates diagnostic criteria of oral diseases to detailed medical treatment.
The author is also an excellent model for graduates of Misr University for Science and Technology (MUST), 6th of October City, Giza, Egypt.
Dr Hussain proved the accuracy of the vision of the university as it was first stated by Prof (Dr) Soad Kafafy, the founder of the university.
“The vision that aims at graduating dentists with higher capabilities than just practice dentistry.”
Hussain has to be appreciated for the great efforts he made and for his will and courage to make this book.

9Preface
It is not an easy task to cover all drugs used in dentistry; but in this book, the author summarized the most fundamental items.
The mouth and oral cavity is considered as the body gates for either good health or diseases.
Oral hygiene and good health are the first line of prophylactic treatment in dentistry.
The curative medicines and drugs used in management of oral diseases are mentioned in chapters, to facilitate understanding and help both undergraduate and postgraduate people who are concerned with dentistry.

The author has done his best to present this book in such informative and comprehensive manner.
Members of Pharmacology Department, Faculty of Pharmacy, MUST, have shared in revising and summarizing the main topics to be easily digested by the readers.
We were keen to minimize and maximize the items according to its medicinal and surgical significance for dentists.

I am more than grateful to my wife “Maryam” for standing with me in the hard times.
I am indebted to Dr Sanna Shafshak, Professor of Oral Diagnosis, for her efforts, without which, the completion of this book would not be possible. She was the source of support and inspiration.
A special recognition goes to Dr Husseiny Elgendy, Professor of Pharmacognosy, as he was interested in revising the book. His notes were more than important as well as his suggestions. He did motivate and encourage me.
Dr Salah Lofty, Assistant Lecturer and the right hand of Dr Elgendy, was more than a valuable source of help and support. He actively revised the book and provided me with valuable references.
My colleagues and friends, who deserve special recognitions and thanks include, Ahmad Al Maskeen and the “Two Alis”—Ali Al Hassar and Ali Sulais, for their support and provision of computer assistance.
