Commonly prescribed medical drugs and their significance in dental therapy. Part I--The antibiotics.
An analysis of Tables I and II reveals that the 20 drugs most frequently prescribed by family practitioners may be classified into 10 therapeutic categories. The antibiotics constitute the numerically largest group. The medical use, adverse reactions, and dental significance of these antibiotics have been described. The remaining drugs will be discussed using a similar format in subsequent papers.
