Opioid Abuse and Prevention Self-Study Publication 2025

Thank you for your interest in the IDA’s 2025 Opioid Abuse and Prevention self-study publication. This Opioid Abuse and Prevention self-study course outlines the national problem of opioid addiction, risk factors for addiction, and steps dentists can take to avoid excessive opioid prescriptions and addiction among patients. This self-study publication fulfills the 8-hour MATE Act CE requirements for DEA registration renewals, but it’s also a valuable continuing education opportunity for any dentist, regardless of CSR/DEA status.

IDA member dentists automatically receive a print publication in the mail, but we also offer digital access on our website. We are happy to mail print copies to non-member dentists upon request, subject to availability.

The cost to access the quiz is:

• $40 for IDA member dentists
• $200 for non-member dentists

To access a digital version of the publication and/or the quiz, please see the information below.
