Preface
This tenth edition of Mosby’s Dental Drug Reference continues Mosby-
Elsevier’s tradition of providing comprehensive and current information on
prescription drugs and recommendations for the care of the dental patients who
take them. As in past editions, new individual drugs, as well as new drug
classes, are included in this concise reference book, which is designed to
address the need of oral health care practitioners and educators for readily
accessible and up-to-date drug information and guidance for the dental management
of medically compromised patients. The tenth edition incorporates
many significant improvements, including:
1. A revised and updated section on the Therapeutic Management of Common
Oral Lesions.
2. A revised and updated section on Medically Compromised Patients, addressing
the most recent antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines for patients at risk of
infective endocarditis and for patients with total joint replacements, as well
as a summary of monoclonal antibody therapy.
3. Revised and updated monographs on cardiovascular drugs.
4. The relocation of the section on Herbal and Nonherbal Remedies to a more
comprehensive database within the Evolve Online Learning Resources.
5. Practice-oriented precautions, dental considerations, and recommended
medical consultations for every drug entry, and essential drug facts that are
placed directly in the context of the dentist’s and dental hygienist’s care.
6. Highlights of serious adverse reactions and contraindications. In each drug
entry, the book calls attention to dangerous or life-threatening reactions so
that you can identify them easily and deal with them promptly.
7. Specialized dental care guidelines, including the most recent recommendations
for the prevention of infective endocarditis. Suggested protocols for the
treatment of medically compromised patients and the therapeutic management
of common oral lesions are also included.
8. Combination drug guide. Detailed index of combination drugs arranged by
trade name.
9. Comprehensive appendices. Eleven ready-reference appendices give you
easy access to additional vital drug-related information and detailed sections
concerning anesthetics, controlled substances, disorders and conditions,
pregnancy and pediatrics, and sample prescriptions for drugs more commonly
prescribed in dental practice.
