| Summary, etc. | With phenomenal growth of information on mechanism of action and clinical application of drugs<br/>as well as rapid introduction of new drugs, pharmacology, the science of drugs (medicines), has<br/>become increasingly important to all health professionals who prescribe/administer drugs. Practice<br/>of dentistry utilizes drugs as primary treatment modality as well as facilitator of dental procedures.<br/>Dentists may have to manage a medical emergency arising in their clinic. Moreover, many dental<br/>patients could be receiving other medication that may have orodental implications, or may interact<br/>with drugs prescribed by the dentist. As such, a broad knowledge of pharmacology with emphasis<br/>on certain aspects is needed by the dentist.<br/>This book is divided into three sections. The first describes the general pharmacological principles<br/>with which all professionals involved in drug therapy must be conversant. The second on systemic<br/>pharmacology presents a brief account of drugs acting on various organ systems and used in the<br/>treatment of common disorders. Each chapter is systematically organised. The opening sentence<br/>defines the class of drugs, followed by their classification. The ‘prototype’ approach is followed<br/>by describing the representative drug of the class. Wherever applicable, the implications in dentistry<br/>are highlighted, such as drugs and diseases affecting postextraction haemostasis, dental procedures<br/>in patients on corticosteroid therapy or in diabetics, oral complications of cancer chemotherapy,<br/>conscious sedation in dentistry, etc. Management of medical emergencies like anaphylactic shock,<br/>seizures, angina, or asthmatic attack during dental treatment is outlined.<br/>The third section mainly elaborates drugs which the dentists prescribe or administer themselves;<br/>but for the sake of continuity also includes other antimicrobials that they are unlikely to prescribe.<br/>The allocation of topics in sections two and three does not indicate water-tight distinction, which<br/>is impossible, but has been done with a view to focus attention on drugs that have greater relevance<br/>in dentistry. To mention a few, the application of analgesics and NSAIDs in dental pain, dental<br/>anaesthesia, role of each class of antimicrobials in orodental infections, prophylaxis of postextraction<br/>infection and endocarditis in patients at special risk, choice of antiseptics and antibiotics for control<br/>of dental plaque and periodontal disease are emphasized. A chapter on drug interactions has been<br/>included, highlighting those that may be encountered in dentistry. Leading trade names and dosage<br/>forms of drugs generally prescribed by dentists are mentioned distinctively. Thus, the book is oriented<br/>to provide essential pharmacological knowledge and understanding, and cater to the specific needs<br/>of dental students and practitioners.<br/>I am indebted to my colleagues in pharmacology and dentistry for conceptual and clinical inputs<br/>that helped in orienting the book. The motivational influence of Shri J.P. Vij, CEO, Jaypee Brothers,<br/>was the main impetus for this book. The meticulous preparation of the manuscript and illustrations<br/>by Ms Sunita Katla, Mr Manoj Pahuja and Mr KK Raman is highly appreciated. The editorial support<br/>and cooperation of my wife is sincerely acknowledged. |
