Brief 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.

Detailed Description:
The primary objective of this project is to de-implement the use of opioid analgesics for the management of postoperative pain following dental extractions and to implement effective alternative pain management. The investigators propose a cluster-randomized trial design in which dental practitioners will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions involving different implementation strategies. The first condition, Standard Practice, will serve as a control condition. The second condition will implement a clinical decision support (CDS) tool that will extract patient history and interface with the state prescription drug monitoring program to provide personalized recommendations for analgesic prescribing and offer language for discussing optimal, evidence-based non-opioid pain management with dental extraction patients. The third condition will involve an enhanced version of the CDS (CDS-E) that will also include information regarding optimal, evidence-based, non-opioid pain management delivered directly to the patient both before and following the dental extraction visit. The investigators will examine opioid and non-opioid prescribing data from the electronic health record across study arms as well as other provider- and patient-focused outcomes using mixed methods.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
No Intervention: Standard Practice
Experimental: Clinical Decision Support 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.
Experimental: Clinical Decision Support + Education 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.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Decrease opioid prescribing for dental extractions [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 2 years ]
    Differential pre- to post-intervention change by study arm in the percentage of extraction encounters with an opioid prescribed (during the day of the extraction encounter).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Increase exclusive non-opioid pain management for dental extractions [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 2 years ]
    Differential pre- to post-intervention change by study arm in the percentage of extraction encounters at which a provider prescribed or recommended non-opioid analgesics (ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, or acetaminophen) and did not prescribe opioids (at the time of the extraction encounter).

  2. Compare the study arm differences in shared decision-making [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    Study arm comparison of the mean of the patient-reported shared decision-making composite score (composite of 3 components concerning management of post-extraction pain options: effort to explain, to listen, and to personalize 3-6 days after the extraction encounter)

  3. Compare the study arm differences in patient experiences of post-extraction pain [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    Study arm comparison of the average patient-reported pain 3 days following the extraction encounter. (Numeric Rating Scale, 0 'no pain at all' - 10 'worst pain imaginable')
