[La...] Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 The full title of this Australian study is "Part 2. Current prescribing trends of dental non-antibacterial medicines in Australia from 2013 to 2016." "CONCLUSIONS: The increase in the consumption of opioids is concerning, suggesting that continuing education is required for dentists to better understand their limited role in managing dental pain and potential for abuse. The substantial increase in the dispensed use of benzodiazepines also requires further investigation and there were some drugs prescribed inappropriately and not in accordance with guidelines. Consideration could also be given to reviewingthe drugs listed on the PBS for dental prescribing." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29676050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
