Abstract:
This article reviews the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, both alone and in combination with opioids, for pain of dental origin. Therapeutic recommendations, which balance therapeutic efficacy and the side effects associated with the use of analgesics in ambulatory patients, are described for preventing and managing acute postoperative pain.
