Primary outcomePrimary: Opioid Prescribing at the Extraction Encounter — 443; 643; 418 Participants — p=.08
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.
