The Use of Glucocorticosteroids to Lessen the Inflammatory Sequelae Following Third Molar Sugery

on 27.9.07 with 0 comments



High-dosing IM studies have shown significant and sustained anti-inflammatory effects with a single dose administered either pre- or post-operatively… not both. Oral surgery usually gives 10mg i.v. corticosteroid pre-operatively, not post-operatively. Why not pre-treat with 800 mg Ibuprofen? This would be a good therapy because it avoids pituitary effects.
