Suboxone MDL 3092 Status in August 2026
In re: Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) Film Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 3092, is centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio before Judge J. Philip Calabrese. The court describes common allegations that Suboxone film can cause dental erosion and decay and that defendants failed to provide adequate warnings. Those allegations remain disputed.

What the FDA Actually Reported About Buprenorphine Dental Problems
In January 2022, FDA required a new dental-risk warning for buprenorphine-containing medicines that dissolve in the mouth. Reported problems included tooth decay, cavities, oral infections, tooth erosion and tooth loss, including reports in people with no prior dental problems.
305 Reports
FDA identified 305 reported dental adverse-event cases in its review.
131 Serious
FDA classified 131 of the reported cases as serious.
113 Multi-Tooth
In 113 reports, two or more teeth were described as affected.
71 Extractions
Tooth extraction/removal was the most commonly reported treatment in the FDA case series.
Other reported treatment included root canals, dental surgery, crowns and implants. FDA also emphasizes that the reports do not establish how likely a dental event is for an individual patient and that the benefits of buprenorphine treatment clearly outweigh the risks for opioid use disorder and pain management.
Illustrative Suboxone Settlement Ranges
The ranges below match TortAdvisor’s dedicated Suboxone Settlement Amounts model. They are not historical averages, reported settlements, court-approved tiers or predictions. A claim can resolve below a range, above it or for no recovery.
Limited Restorative Treatment
$25K–$75KDocumented decay or erosion affecting fewer teeth, fillings or limited restorative treatment, lower future-care costs and limited wage or functional loss.
Editorial estimate only.Moderate Multi-Tooth Claim
$75K–$200KSeveral affected teeth, root canals, crowns, infection, repeated procedures, meaningful expenses and stronger product/dental documentation.
Editorial estimate only.Extractions / Reconstruction
$200K–$500K+Multiple extractions, implants, dentures, bone loss, extensive reconstruction, permanent impairment, substantial future care or wage loss.
Editorial estimate only.Near-Total Dental Loss
Case-SpecificNear-total tooth loss, unusually high lifetime reconstruction costs or other extraordinary damages require individualized review and may fall outside standard planning bands.
No reliable universal range.Who May Need a Suboxone Dental Lawsuit Review?
Eligibility cannot be determined by a calculator alone. A case review generally examines the exact product used, use dates, dental condition before exposure, onset of injury, treatment, warnings, state law and the quality of supporting records.
Facts That May Support Closer Review
- Suboxone sublingual film use that can be confirmed through pharmacy, prescriber, clinic or insurance records
- Dental decay, erosion, infection, fracture or tooth loss after use
- Root canals, crowns, extractions, implants, dentures or reconstructive procedures
- Baseline dental charts or X-rays that help show pre-use dental condition
- Consistent dental and prescription timeline
- Documented past costs, future treatment, lost earnings or functional impact
Issues Requiring Individual Review
- Tablet-only, generic or uncertain product use
- Significant pre-existing decay, gum disease or missing teeth
- Smoking, severe dry mouth, trauma, diet or other competing dental risk factors
- Large gaps in pharmacy or dental records
- Long delay between injury, suspected cause and legal review
- Uncertain statute of limitation or statute of repose
6 Factors That Can Affect Suboxone Claim Value
1. Product Identification
Records showing Suboxone film, dispensing dates, prescriber and duration can be central to identifying the relevant defendant and legal theory.
2. Baseline Dental Health
Older dental charts and imaging can help distinguish later deterioration from pre-existing decay, periodontal disease or missing teeth.
3. Number of Teeth & Procedures
Multi-tooth decay, infection, root canals, crowns, extractions, implants and extensive reconstruction can materially increase treatment burden.
4. Future Dental Care
Replacement of restorations, implant maintenance, dentures, bone grafting and future reconstruction can create long-term costs.
5. Economic & Daily Impact
Out-of-pocket bills, missed work, diet limitations, speech problems, pain, appearance changes and other supported losses can affect damages.
6. Causation & State Law
Expert opinions, warnings, alternative causes, applicable state law and filing deadlines can materially change whether a claim succeeds.
Records That Can Strengthen a Suboxone Dental Claim
- Pharmacy dispensing history
- Prescriber and treatment-clinic records
- Insurance explanation-of-benefits records
- Product packaging or photographs when available
- Baseline dental examinations
- Dental X-rays and other imaging
- Treatment notes and procedure codes

How the Suboxone Settlement Calculator Works
Suboxone Lawsuit Filing Deadlines Vary by State
There is no single nationwide filing deadline for every Suboxone dental-injury claim. State statutes of limitation and repose can depend on where the claim is filed, injury and diagnosis dates, when the person knew or reasonably should have known of a possible product connection, defendant identity, prior filings and tolling rules.

Suboxone Settlement Calculator FAQ
Has a Suboxone dental settlement been announced?
No court-approved global personal-injury settlement or dental payout matrix appears in the current official MDL 3092 materials reviewed for this August 11, 2026 update.
How many Suboxone MDL actions are pending?
The August 3, 2026 JPML report lists 1,827 pending actions and 1,908 historical actions in MDL 3092.
What is the current bellwether phase?
The current protocol places the 50-case Core Discovery Pool in a deposition period scheduled from July 13, 2026 through January 15, 2027, with selection of a 15-case Trial Pool scheduled for January 29, 2027.
Does MDL 3092 include every buprenorphine product?
No. The federal proceeding is specifically titled the Suboxone Film Products Liability Litigation. FDA’s dental communication is broader and covers buprenorphine-containing tablets and films dissolved in the mouth.
Should I stop taking Suboxone because of dental problems?
Do not stop it suddenly without speaking with the prescribing clinician. FDA says abrupt discontinuation can cause withdrawal and may increase the risk of relapse, overdose and death.
What records are most important?
Pharmacy and prescriber records, baseline and follow-up dental charts, X-rays, procedure records, bills, future-care estimates and evidence of economic or daily-life impact can all be important.
