Dental Therapeutics and Pharmacology
Dental therapeutics and pharmacology is the study and application of drugs to prevent and treat diseases, disorders, and injuries of the teeth, gums, and oral cavity. It involves the use of medications to prevent and treat oral diseases, and to improve overall oral health. This field of dentistry is closely related to the field of pharmaceutical sciences, as the drugs used in dentistry have the same general properties as those used in other branches of medicine. The most common drugs used in dental therapeutics and pharmacology are antibiotics, anesthetics, anti-inflammatory drugs, local anesthetics, anti-microbial agents, and anticoagulants. These drugs are used to reduce pain and inflammation, to protect the teeth and gums from infection and decay, and to promote healing. In addition, the use of drugs to treat diseases of the mouth, jaw, and face is an important part of dental therapeutics and pharmacology.
