A recent manuscript was published in BioMed Central Oral Health focusing on the relationship between continuing education and dental pain. The study in the manuscript, “Evaluation of a continuing education course on guideline-concordant management of acute dental pain,” found that the continuing education course increased learners’ knowledge about the guidelines and shared decision making. Former PCOH Board Member/Board Chair Dr. Deborah Polk, University of Pittsburgh, was the lead author on this project in addition to consultants from the Association of State
and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD).
