Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of various analgesic medications in mitigating orofacial pain following dental implant surgery. Materials and methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs). The primary outcomes examined were post-operative pain (POP) and consumption of rescue analgesics following implant placement; secondary outcomes included adverse effects, post-operative inflammation, infection, swelling, bleeding, patient satisfaction, and quality of life. Random effects meta-analysis was conducted for risk ratios of dichotomous data. Results: Nine RCTs fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Individual studies and meta-analysis of two studies indicated that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) significantly reduced POP and consumption of rescue analgesics after dental implant placement compared to placebo. Transdermal administration of NSAIDs may be superior to the oral route as it was similarly effective for POP control and resulted in fewer side effects. Glucocorticoids administered as primary analgesics or NSAID adjuvants resulted in comparable pain sensation compared to NSAIDs alone. Caffeine-containing analgesics were reported as acceptable and effective for the treatment of POP and swelling when compared to codeine adjuvants. With regard to analgesic dosing schedules, pain modulation may be most critical during the first 72 h following dental implant placement. Risk of bias assessment indicated an overall low risk of bias across the included trials. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this review, POP following implant surgery may be effectively treated with the short-term use of analgesic medications. However, given the heterogeneity in the available RCTs, there is insufficient evidence to recommend an analgesic regimen following dental implant surgery. Clinical relevance: Short-term use of analgesic medications may be sufficient for post-operative pain management in dental implant surgery. Ultimately, the clinician's analgesic prescription should be directed by a patient's medical history, in order to increase the success of pain management in a short period of time and decrease potential adverse effects.
