September 2020 - August 2023

For managing acute dental pain, there is an urgent need to formalize the evidence-based alternatives to opioids in a clinical practice guideline, disseminate the guideline, and facilitate its uptake by providers through an implementation strategy. The goal of this research is to increase providers’ uptake of evidence-based approaches to clinical care. The project team will develop a clinical practice guideline for the management of acute dental pain, develop and deploy dissemination and implementation strategies, and evaluate the effectiveness of those strategies in changing provider prescribing behavior.
