Opioids are often prescribed for pain management following dental extractions, despite evidence that non-opioid alternatives are often effective in managing post-extraction pain.The current study focuses on de-implementation of the common and potentially harmful practice of opioid prescribing in dentistry.Equipping dentists with clinical decision support resources, whether alone or paired with patient education materials, did not reduce opioid prescribing compared to standard practice.This study adds to the literature on de-implementation of opioid prescribing, clinical decision support strategies, and changing clinical practices in dentistry.
