Despite advancements in treatment techniques, reports of postoperative pain due to trauma to the periapical tissues persist. The pretreatment anti\u2010inflammatory drugs (nonsteroidal anti\u2010inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs] and corticosteroids) and analgesic drugs (opioids and nonopioids) are a pharmacotherapeutic strategy employed for pain relief and inflammation control in endodontics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This overview of systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) synthesized the available evidence on the effectiveness and safety of pretreatment anti\u2010inflammatory and analgesic drugs in pain management for patients undergoing endodontic treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The databases searched included the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Epistemonikos, Scopus, Web of Science, and Virtual Health Library, up to March 2023.

Six systematic reviews conducted meta\u2010analyses and found that the pretreatment oral or parenteral corticosteroids reduced postoperative pain, compared with placebo, for 6, 12, and 24\u2009h after nonsurgical endodontic treatment. NSAID systematic reviews have presented many conflicting results. Most reviews were of critically low quality, and data on adverse effects were poorly reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pretreatment corticosteroids appeared to be associated with more consistent reductions in postoperative pain among patients undergoing endodontic treatment.
