Corticosteroids are not recommended for routine dental procedures. Their use may be considered only for specific, major elective oral and maxillofacial surgeries due to anti-inflammatory effects.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Corticosteroids are adrenal cortex hormones with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.
  • They are used therapeutically for adrenal insufficiency and various inflammatory diseases.

Purpose:

  • To review the established indications for corticosteroid use in dentistry and oral surgery.
  • To determine the appropriateness of prophylactic corticosteroid prescription in these surgical fields.

Summary:

  • Literature review indicates corticosteroids are not indicated for preventive use in general dentistry or standard oral and maxillofacial surgery.
  • Consideration for corticosteroid prescription is limited to major elective oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures.

Impact:

  • Provides evidence-based guidance on corticosteroid prescribing in oral surgery.
