Effect of Academic Detailing on Opioid Prescribing by Dentists to Adolescents and Young Adults

"Eligible dentists/oral surgeons will have one visit (30 minutes or less) at the dentist's office. During the initial visit, the detailers will discuss the evidence against routine opioid prescribing to adolescents and young adults for most common surgeries performed by dentists and oral surgeons, the harms of dental opioid exposure in adolescents and young adults, and the benefits and feasibility of relying on non-opioids as a first line option for routine dental procedures among adolescents and young adults. A survey will be completed to assess the satisfaction regarding the intervention. A professionally designed packet of information on reducing use of opioids for routine procedures will also be given.~There may also be a second optional follow-up visit conducted virtually for any participants that wish to discuss further with the detailer. The second visit may occur any time between the initial visit and March 31, 2024."
