The primary purpose of everyone associated in treating patients and prescribing medications is to ensure that medicines are administered safely. The safe use of drugs in dentistry is critical to the patient's well-being. The dental discipline is involved in the use of a variety of drugs in the treatment of oral diseases. The disclosure of ADR of bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaws alerted the dental community in 2005.1 The Food and Drug Administration has given the matter extra attention and taken further precautions to prevent ADRs triggered by dental medications. Hence, dentists must be aware of drug usage for certain oral disease conditions, as well as adverse drug reactions (ADR) to the same medicines.
