Although the range of drugs useful to the dental practitioner for his own therapeutic purposes is relatively limited, there has been a great increase in the armamentarium of the physician. The present article draws attention to some groups of drugs which may be of significance to the dentist because his patients may be receiving one or more of them either on medical prescription or occasionally by self-medication. It will serve its purpose if it merely warns the dentist of some hidden dangers of apparently innocent dental use of relatively safe but potent drugs without the preliminary taking of an adequate history from his patient “with particular reference to drug use, allergies, sensitivities and current medical treatment.”1 |
