Influence of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on osseointegration.
This paper reviews contemporary literature concerning the possible influence of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on osseointegration. In vitro studies concerning the effect of NSAIDs on growth factors and bone-generating cells are the primary source of data pertaining to this issue because relatively few in vivo studies have been conducted. It is concluded that prescribing NSAIDs during the early postoperative period is likely not without negative effect, although any negative influence appears to be temporary and does not affect the final outcome of osseointegration.
