Lexicomp has released the first edition of the Manual of Pediatric Dentistry, a print and electronic database for dental professionals that covers the diagnosis and treatment of the most frequent conditions occurring within pediatric dentistry.
Lexicomp delivers dental-specific drug information, drug interaction, and clinical content for use at the point of care. The manual is designed for both reference and immediate feedback of clinical information, diagnosis, and treatment protocols. It includes 14 chapters, six additional subtopics, and 180 photographs and images.
Topic areas include sample prescriptions for antibiotics, fluoride, and pain control, including dosing and instructions for each age group; traumatic injuries to the teeth and jaws; preoperative sedation routines and administration; most likely emergencies in a pediatric setting; eruption charts; and developmental tables.
In addition to the new 157-page printed manual, the content is accessible in Lexicomp's Web-based product, Lexicomp Online for Dentistry, as well as on mobile devices.
