Foreword
This book is a model for merging two intimately integrated sciences—
oral diagnosis and pharmacology. It is a very helpful guide to dental
practitioners since it relates diagnostic criteria of oral diseases to
detailed medical treatment.
The author is also an excellent model for graduates of Misr
University for Science and Technology (MUST), 6th of October
City, Giza, Egypt.
Dr Hussain proved the accuracy of the vision of the university
as it was first stated by Prof (Dr) Soad Kafafy, the founder of the
university.
“The vision that aims at graduating dentists with higher
capabilities than just practice dentistry.”
Hussain has to be appreciated for the great efforts he made
and for his will and courage to make this book.

Preface
It is not an easy task to cover all drugs used in dentistry; but in this
book, the author summarized the most fundamental items.
The mouth and oral cavity is considered as the body gates for
either good health or diseases.
Oral hygiene and good health are the first line of prophylactic
treatment in dentistry.
The curative medicines and drugs used in management of oral
diseases are mentioned in chapters, to facilitate understanding and
help both undergraduate and postgraduate people who are
concerned with dentistry.
• Gives an introduction to general pharmacology and general
forms and routes of administration of the drugs routinely
used. It also outlines the basics of drug interactions.
(cid:129) The first chapter discusses all types of dental pain and their
characters, pathogenesis of inflammation and its body response
and influence.
(cid:129) The second chapter is concerned with all antimicrobial agents
treating bacterial diseases either prophylactic or curative, and
specific or nonspecific.
(cid:129) The third and fourth chapters deal with antifungal and antiviral
agents in common use, putting in consideration—the
indications, contraindications, side effects and drug interactions
for each drug.
(cid:129) The fifth chapter is the most important one, because an
emergency is a life-threatening condition. Dentists should know
very well how to deal, manage and take prompt action in such
a way to save patient’s life. All physicians, pharmacists, and
before all dentists should keep that chapter as a booklet for
emergency cases.
