About Book

Formerly the Textbook of Dental Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2e by Walton, Thomson and Seymour, a new team of authors has extensively revised this successful text ,incorporating the many advances in this field over the last few years. In 27 short chapters, this book comprehensively covers both the basic and applied pharmacology required in modern dental courses, emphasising those topics which are particularly relevant to dental practice. With new key fact boxes, clinical cases and further reading, this new edition will be easier and more fun to use for the dental student.

Reviews of the previous editions: 'Excellent, well-rounded .... This will become a standard text before very long...' Dental Practice 'The authors have put a great deal of thought, research, and effort into smoothing the path of the readers, and are to be congratulated.' Adverse Drug Reactions

Reviews

From The Critics

Reviewer: Reza Heshmati, DDS, MPH, MS(Ohio State University)
Description: This is the third edition of Pharmacology and Dental Therapeutics. Significant improvement has been made in this new edition.
Purpose: The intent is to provide a brief review of drugs and topics relevant to dental practice.
Audience: This textbook is designed primarily for dental students and instructors. However, it would be a welcome addition to the library of any practitioner and is recommended as a reference for dental clinics.
Features: The authors provide a framework for giving a dental practitioner information and management recommendations. The unit treatments for common dental conditions include discussion of some of the very common dental conditions that require either operative or non-operative (medical) treatment, and the key fact boxes provide a focused review of the content for the reader.
Assessment: Information regarding pharmacology continues to develop at an ever-increasing pace. Advanced technology in medicine and molecular biology has made the subject more important than ever. This book has been revised, updated, and some of its chapters also have been rewritten to keep up with these changes in the technology.
