Medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone film requires prolonged sublingual contact. Some patients report rapid caries, extractions, or full-mouth reconstruction.

Plaintiffs' theories often focus on acid exposure and dry mouth; defendants dispute causation in court filings.

Dental charts, radiographs, and MAT prescribing dates help establish timelines for individualized review.
