Summary

The overarching goal of this project is to de-implement the reliance on opioid analgesics and to implement reliance on non-opioid analgesics to manage postoperative pain following dental extractions. Using a prospective, provider-level, 3-arm cluster randomized trial design, the investigators will compare different strategies to reduce the reliance on opioids and increase the use of alternative pain management approaches utilizing information support tools aimed at both providers and their patients.

Conditions

  • Tooth Extraction

Interventions

OTHER

Clinical Decision Support

A clinical decision support system designed to assist dentists in providing optimal pain management for patients without resorting to opioids when a non-opioid alternative would suffice. It provides pertinent clinical information to the dentist, including point-of-care access to the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program.

OTHER

Patient education

Patient education regarding pain management before and after dental extraction, including information about the risks and benefits of various strategies.
