The feasibility of academic detailing for acute oral pain management in outpatient dentistry: A pilot study

Ashley M. Hughes et al.

Summary: Opioids are frequently prescribed in outpatient dental settings, leading to opportunities for opioid stewardship. This pilot study tested the feasibility of an academic detailing intervention to promote appropriate prescribing of opioids. The results showed high feasibility, indications of adoption of intervention techniques, and a decrease in opioid prescribing rates. It is recommended to collaborate closely with frontline providers to gather feedback and support before scaling and implementing the intervention.

Serious opioid-related adverse outcomes associated with opioids prescribed by dentists

Tumader Khouja et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the adverse outcomes and persistent opioid use (POU) after opioid prescriptions by dentists, based on whether opioids were overprescribed or within recommendations. The findings demonstrate that dental prescribing of opioids was associated with adverse outcomes and POU, even when prescriptions were concordant with guidelines. Additional efforts are required to improve analgesic prescribing in dentistry, especially in groups at high risk of opioid-related adverse outcomes.

Association Between Receipt of Overlapping Opioid and Benzodiazepine Prescriptions From Multiple Prescribers and Overdose Risk

Kao-Ping Chua et al.

Summary: This study found that among patients already at increased risk of overdose owing to concurrent treatment with opioids and benzodiazepines, overdose risk was increased further when multiple prescribers were responsible for this treatment regimen compared with 1 prescriber. This increased risk was not fully accounted for by differences in prescribing patterns, demographics, or comorbidities.
