This book will give dental student a lucid and concise account of the basic principles of pharmacology, made understandable by dentally relevant examples; and the practical aspects of drug use in dentistry. It is a new edition of the highly successful Clinical Pharmacology in Dentistry. The title has been changed and the contents restructured to take account to two important recent developments - the greater emphasis on basic science in dentistry teaching, and the increased pressure on dentists to have a wide knowledge of the uses and interactions of drugs.
