A brief review of the newer nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics.
The intent of this article is to present information about selected analgesic products marketed within the past five years and their potential for use in dental practice. As a rule, most new drugs are not specifically produced for dental therapy as economics and medical needs drive research and development. However, for this group of drugs, the dental pain model involving third molar extractions has provided some of the clinical data. Because the information presented is brief, the practitioner is cautioned to consult complete prescribing information, such as the drug package insert, prior to using of any medication which might be appropriate to employ in the usual course of dental therapeutics.
