Abstract
Drug information services by pharmacists was started when the drug information center at the Kentucky University Hospital in the United States was established in 1962. In Japan, although many such programs have been proposed, their systemization has yet to be carried out, and especially in the field of dentistry, an organized drug information system is still a long way from being an accomplished fact.
In this study, we evaluated the merits of the“Year Book of Dentistry”as a drug information source for dentistry. Forty-four of these books have been issued since 1936, and they are recognized as a valuable source of information for both clinical practice and educational use.
