Must Have, February 2, 2009

Much better than the PDR since it is specific to dental care. We have the Palm version as well. Both are great.

Reference for every dentist, November 10, 2006

This excellent reference should be on the desk on every practicing dentist. It provides concise useful information on pharmaceuticals and their interactions with dental anesthetics and epinepherine.

Clinician's Review, July 7, 2002

I've used 4 different drug reference books including the PDR. For the Clinical Dentist this is the best one I've ever used. The pertinent information the dentist needs is concveiently written in red. There are other very useful chapters in the back of the book. Excellent choice.
