简要总结
Under the auspices of the Oral Health Section of the NC Department of Health and Human Services clinician-investigators from the UNC Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department are conducting a survey to assess current analgesic prescribing practices in NC with a goal of eventually reaching consensus among clinicians for a wide range of procedures and conditions where pain control is important for successful patient outcomes. We hope that about 850 dentists and 600 physicians will agree to take part in this research study. Participation in this Qualtrics survey e-mailed in mid-February 2019 will take about 15 minutes or less.

METHODS
Participants:
Dentists, emergency room physicians and primary care physicians who are in active practice will be surveyed using the lists of active practitioners with Drug Enforcement Administration(DEA) licenses provided by the NC Department of Public Health.
Inclusion criteria for dentists: Active dentist with DEA license including: endodontists, general practice dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and periodontists.
Given the small numbers per specialty, all endodontists (n=128), periodontists(n=114), and oral and maxillofacial surgeons (n=178) will be surveyed. A stratified random sample (n = 400) of general dentists (n=3905) will be selected from the list using region of the state as the stratification factor.
