| This book is an authoritative guide addressing principles and practices of pharmacology insofar as they concern dentistry. The book covers all the critical aspects of drug prescribing starting with the basics of the importance of rational and evidence-based prescribing practice. Having laid this foundation, it proceeds to discuss the key principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and the processes of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Key areas that are covered in the publication include some of the most prescribed drugs in dental practice, including analgesics, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, antimicrobials, local anesthetics, sedatives, anxiolytics, topical agents, and prescription-strength oral hygiene products. The various classes of drugs are discussed in relation to their clinical applications, benefits, and potential side effects. Pediatric and geriatric patients, pregnant and lactating women, as well as those who are medically compromised, have special considerations. In this way, dental professionals will have the necessary background to individualize their prescribing based on the peculiar needs of these special groups of patients. This text also includes information on the pharmacotherapy of periodontal diseases, endodontic infections, oral surgery, and temporomandibular joint disorders. Addressing alternative and adjunctive therapies beyond traditional pharmacotherapies, It covers herbal remedies and integrative pain management approaches as they pertain to their place and function in improving patient outcomes. The authors also look ahead to address the future trends and developments in dental pharmacotherapy, new drug product delivery innovations, and the effect that personalized medicine may have on dental prescribing patterns in the future. The conclusion reiterates continuous education and compliance with guidelines of prescribing as a pathway to absolute currency in the profession. A Comprehensive Manual on Drug Prescribing in Dentistry is an indispensable part of the professional library whether you are a dental student, general practitioner, researcher, or teacher. Such is the rationale for bringing together, in a single manual, evidence-based and practical information that will be useful in delivering safe, effective, and patient-centered dental care. |
