Drug therapy and alternative medicine reference sources will be listed and critiqued as to usefulness in daily practice.

Clinically relevant information about effectiveness, adverse effects, patient specific drug selection criteria, dosing, and cost will be presented for therapeutic agents commonly used in dentistry.Systemic antibiotics, anxiolytics, analgesics and certain controversial areas including antibiotic premedicatin of joint replacement patients and office mangaement of dental anxiety. Potentially dangerous drug and supplemental interactions important in clinical dentistry will be listed and reviewed with emphasis on avoidance and patient management strategies.
