Description
This text has been organized to meet both the needs of dental teaching and of providing an adequate background for drug use in general practice. The first section is devoted to the scientific aspects of pharmacology and how drugs act on the various body systems. At the same time the relevance of this information to dental practice is made clear. The second section deals with drugs of special importance in dentistry.
