Abstract:
Developments in dental pharmacotherapeutics require dentists to constantly update their knowledge of new drugs, drug safety, and therapeutic trends. Recent incidents of bisphosphonateassociated poor healing, spontaneous intraoral ulceration, and bone necrosis in the oral and maxillofacial region stress the need for vigilant spontaneous reporting of adverse events. This article discusses the rationale for pharmacovigilance in dental practice using specific methods and reviews the pros and cons of adverse drug reporting among dental practitioners.
