The analysis of the most frequently recommended medications is showed in the article. The results of the survey of dentists conducted at the Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education in collaboration with Ukrainian Dental Association on dental conferences in February-March 2015. The basic group of pharmaceutical drugs – nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and medicines for local use were researched. The analysis presents the most commonly prescribed drugs by dentists during the period of first half-year 2015. The survey results demonstrated the necessity to better inform dentists about new drugs and their indications for the usage based on evidence-based medicine, contraindications, and side effects in order to achieve high clinical efficacy of the treatment.
