A new study has suggested patients who have received a new prosthesis or dental implants may heal better if they avoid paracetamol, as a new research has shown that it may slow down bone growth.

Researcher Olga Garcia Martinez revealed: “Certain anti-inflammatorys such as paracetamol should be cautiously taken, especially in situations which require a rapid bone tissue regeneration, such as after placement of a prosthesis or dental implant. Other anti-inflammatorys which have no effects on bone growth should be used instead.”
