Written specifically to satisfy the needs of the modern dental course in basic and applied pharmacology, this popular and well-established text has been completely revised, with a larger full colour format, as well as being updated throughout. This new edition incorporates a complete revision and updating of the text in line with recent advances. The increasing importance of pain to the dental surgeon has justified a new chapter devoted to the pharmacology of pain. There has also been a considerable expansion in the area of antiplaque agents and drugs used in the management of periodontal diseases, and the chapters relating to these topics have been completely rewritten. Also incorporated are the most recent guidelines on general anaesthesia in dental practice, control of infection policy and antimicrobial prophylaxix. This book is intended for undergraduate dental students; postgraduate dental students; general dental practitioners.show more
