ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) most commonly used in dentistry, how these are prescribed (i.e., in isolation or in combination as part of a synergistic treatment), the use of steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and the administration of opioid analgesics. Material and methods: 113 dentists were randomly surveyed at their place of work, regarding their preferred choice of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug; how they prescribed these; their use of combinations of analgesics to achieve synergistic effects; and their use of steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioid analgesics. Results: The most popular analgesic among dentists is paracetamol, their next most popular choices being ibuprofen and ketorolac respectively. Analgesics are primarily prescribed on an «as-needed» basis. Few dentists recommend a combination of analgesics and the anti-inflammatory of choice for most is naproxen. Similarly, few dentists use steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or analgesic opioids. Conclusions: The prescription of analgesics is within the parameters described in the international literature and these continue to be used primarily on an as-needed basis. The use of combinations of analgesics is not widespread and the anti-inflammatory drug of choice for most dentists does not appear to be any more effective than other drugs. The use of steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is not common nor is that of opioid analgesics.
