CS Miller, AL Kaplan, GF Guest, and JA Cottone
University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, Department of Oral Health Science, Lexington 40536-0084.

They found that drug use increased significantly with age and that a significant number of patients took medications that had potential for adverse dental effects. Thus, dentists should be aware of patient medications and the effects those drugs have on dental treatment.
