Abstract
Dentists' knowledge about drug interactions, particularly in medically compromised older patients, may not be adequate. An on‐line drug interaction system was tested for 4 months in a dental clinic to ascertain its usefulness in training students. Characteristics of high‐risk patients are described, as well as opinions of users about the applicability of information presented and its relation to patient care. Approximately 3% of the patients seen were at risk of trauma from drug interactions, half of which were considered likely to occur. Implications of drug interaction data are also discussed in relation to treatment planning. Copyright © 1988, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
