Reviews

This second edition provides the reader with a timely and important update to the original textbook and shows the scientific basis for the drugs used in dentistry. It contains an extremely useful reference and guide to drugs used and prescribed in dental practices....This book provides the most current information, and is a must read for all dentists, dental residents and dental students. - The New York State Dental Journal, June/July 2020

I do recommend this book for any dentist, even if they are not writing prescriptions. This book will help in working with people taking medications, legal, illicit, and over-the-counter, that affect the oral systemic system dentists concentrate on. - The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice, 2020, VOL. 38, NO. 4, 279
