Overview
This course educates dental

Management of Acute Dental Pain: Development, Implementation, and Evaluation
Using Data Analytics to Target An Implementation Strategy." The project is a
collaboration between the ADA Science & Research
Institute, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of
Pennsylvania.
