Abstract
Corticosteroids are used incidentally in dentoalveolar surgical treatments to reduce possible postsurgical problems. Natural corticosteroids are produced in the adrenal cortex. Synthetic corticosteroids are known to have anti-inflammatory effects when they are administered in doses exceeding the normal physiological amounts which the body produces. Several contraindications and side effects are known. Administration of corticosteroids for dentoalveolar surgical treatments shows a reduction of edema and pain. When using corticosteroids, the risk of infections is not known to be higher than usual and the risk of adverse effects is minimal. According to the literature, there is no clear recommendation to use corticosteroids as a standard for dentoalveolar surgical treatments.
