Because dental schools are the training grounds for future dentists, it is crucial to understand how prescribing has changed and why these medications are being prescribed in academic settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The objective of this research was to describe the prescribing trends and factors associated with opioid and antibiotic medication prescribing at US academic dental institutions between 2011 and 2020.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data from electronic dental records collected through the BigMouth data repository from 9 anonymized dental institutions between 2011 and 2020 were used. Prescribing rates were defined as the percentage of patients who received an opioid\/antibiotic prescription. The primary outcome was whether at least 1 opioid or antibiotic medication was prescribed at the encounter. Monotonicity and statistical significance of prescribing trends by year were assessed using the Mann\u2013Kendall test, and a statistical analysis using an adjusted multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression model was performed to identify significant patient-, visit-, and dental provider\u2013level factors associated with prescribing of these medications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In total, 5,720,166 patient encounters from 905,426 patients had aggregate opioid and antibiotic prescribing rates of 2.0% and 2.7%, respectively, between 2011 and 2020. For both medications, a downward prescribing trend was observed from 2013, which increased in 2020. Opioid prescribing was most likely for young adults aged 15 to 24 y (odds ratio [OR] = 5.26;95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.99\u20135.55) and by oral surgeons (OR = 10.03; 95% CI: 8.02\u201312.55). Antibiotic prescribing had a higher odds for patients aged &gt;65 y (OR = 5.04; 95% CI: 4.62\u20135.49) and by periodontists\/implant specialists (OR = 6.21; 95% CI: 4.96\u20137.78). Multiple treatments at the same dental visit and pain-associated dental procedures were associated with statistically significantly higher odds of being prescribed both medications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There are significant differences in opioid and antibiotic prescribing by dentist specialty, patient age, whether the dental visit had multiple treatment procedures, and whether 1 or more postoperative dental pain\u2013associated procedures were performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Knowledge Transfer Statement:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides an understanding of patient-, dentist-, and visit-level factors associated with opioid and antibiotic medication prescriptions issued by clinicians at academic dental institutions in the United States.
