Since the publication of the first edition of this book there is now a greater understanding of how drugs work also of new ways in which these agents may be applied in dental therapeutics. This new edition incorporates a complete revision and updating of the text in line with the recent advances. The increasing importance of pain to the dental surgeon has justified a new chapter devoted to the pharmacology of pain. There has been a considerable expansion in the area of antiplaque agents and drugs used in the management of periodontal diseases and the chapters related to this area have been completely rewritten. Since the first edition, new guidelines have been issued on general anaesthesia in dental practice, control of infection policy, and antimicrobial prophylaxis; these have all been incorporated in the text. The emphasis of the book remains on these topics which are particularly relevant to the dental practice.
