Appropriate Prescribing for Acute Dental PainVI. Preventing Opioid Abuse and Diversion

Course DescriptionManagement of acute dental pain is accomplished with the use of non-opioid

and opioid analgesics. However, this normally occurs outside the dental office, away from the immediate supervision of the clinician, who is often faced with the difficult task of managing patient pain while also avoiding adverse outcomes for both the patient and their communities. Thus, it is critical for clinicians to be able to accurately identify the need for pain control, individualize patient care based on this need as well as associated risks, assess the efficacy of analgesic agents prescribed and monitor for their appropriate use. This program will provide participants with an overview of the pharmacology of pain control and the effective management of acute dental pain using non-opioid and opioid analgesics. Special emphasis will be given to appropriate prescribing practices for opioid analgesics.

Learning ObjectivesUpon successful completion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Describe the pharmacology and mechanism of action of non-opioid and opioid analgesics, as well as their potential for abuse.

• Explain the intended role of non-opioid and opioid analgesics in the treatment of dental pain, as well as situations which may preclude their use.

• Describe strategies useful in developing a pain management plan that is individualized for a patient’s needs and underlying medical conditions.

• Understand appropriate prescribing practices to utilize in everyday clinical situations.
