Abstract

Hormones, which are secreted by endocrine glands, regulate body functions and maintain homeostasis. Corticosteroidal hormones like glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids are secreted by the adrenal gland. The zona fasciculata of the cortex in the adrenal gland naturally produces the steroidal hormone cortisol. Reducing inflammation is one of its primary effects, especially in situations where an inflammatory response is not required.Steroids are frequently prescribed for oral surgery due to their higher efficacy and ability to provide greater comfort for the patient during the recovery phase. While corticosteroids can be beneficial during surgery, they can also have negative side effects. Numerous scholarly articles illustrate that the safest use of steroids is when they are used with caution and have more significance.
