Information about drug used and medical history among dental patients would be useful for dental practice and teaching of clinical pharmacology. Therefore, 541 consecutive adult outpatients of Mahidol dental school were studied in 1987. The names of drug used and medical problems were obtained by direct questioning. Out of patients surveyed, 307 (56.7%) were taking drugs and the most commonly drug used was non-narcotic analgesics. 300 patients (55.4%) had medical problems and allergy was the most common disease. The frequency of patients who taking drugs and having medical problems varied between age groups. The highest frequency of medication intake was found in patients with age above thirty. The highest frequency of significant medical conditions was found in patients with age above fifty. The data from this investigation revealed that the medical problems of patients which affect dental treatment were very common. Consequently, the dental personnel should study more about the pharmacology of systemic drugs and the nature of systemic diseases.
牙科患者使用药物及病史的信息对牙科实践和临床药理学教学很有用。因此，1987年对玛希隆牙科学院连续541名成年门诊患者进行了研究。通过直接询问获取所使用药物的名称和医疗问题。在接受调查的患者中，307名（56.7%）正在服药，最常用的药物是非麻醉性镇痛药。300名患者（55.4%）有医疗问题，过敏是最常见的疾病。服药和有医疗问题的患者频率在不同年龄组之间有所不同。药物摄入频率最高的是30岁以上的患者。重大医疗状况频率最高的是50岁以上的患者。这项调查的数据显示，影响牙科治疗的患者医疗问题非常普遍。因此，牙科人员应更多地研究全身药物的药理学和全身疾病的性质。
