Textbook of pharmacology for dental and allied health sciences

Pharmacology is a subject that has been rapidly growing. To keep pace with it, books in pharmacology need to be updated frequently. The book has been thoroughly revised with appropriate additions, deletions and tailored to the needs of a dental student. In response to the feedback received, wherever applicable, the relevance of the topic to a dentist has been highlighted. More figures, charts and tables have been added and the book is brought out in multiple colours, all of which make it more student-friendly. Many universities have introduced ‘Compare and Contrast’, between related drugs in the question papers. Therefore a series of ‘Compare and Contrast’ have been given in all relevant chapters. Keeping in mind the burden on students, efforts have been made to include only the necessary things and prune the unwanted ones. A chapter on emergencies in dental practice has been included as required by some universities. The First edition of the book was titled ‘Short Textbook of Pharmacology for Dental and Allied Health Sciences’ and has been renamed in the second edition as Textbook of Pharmacology for Dental and Allied Health Sciences. I hope the book makes learning pharmacology a pleasurable experience. Please send your feedback to [email protected]. Padmaja
