(Y56.7) Dental drugs, topically applied

Dental drugs, when applied topically, are absorbed through the tissue of the mouth, entering the bloodstream and eventually reaching the target site where they are intended to have a therapeutic effect. this process is known as topical drug delivery and is an effective way to deliver medications to the teeth and gums.

Dental drugs, when topically applied, can cause adverse effects on the oral mucosa due to their direct contact with the tissue. this can lead to inflammation, irritation, and tissue damage, which can further cause pain, swelling, and an increased risk of infection. in some cases, the drugs can also cause systemic effects such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.
