Oral PathologyCorticosteroids are primarily useful in TMJ arthritis due to their potent anti-inflammatory effect. They inhibit phospholipase A2, reducing arachidonic acid cascade and subsequent prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. This reduces inflammation, swelling, and pain in the TMJ. While they may provide secondary analgesic relief through inflammation reduction, their primary mechanism is anti-inflammatory, not direct analgesic action.
