Suboxone MDL 3092 Status in August 2026
Federal Suboxone cases are coordinated as In re: Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) Film Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 3092, before Judge J. Philip Calabrese in the Northern District of Ohio. According to the court, plaintiffs allege the film can cause dental erosion and decay and that the defendants did not adequately warn of that risk; the defendants dispute these claims.
1,827 Pending Actions
The JPML's August 3, 2026 report shows 1,827 pending and 1,908 total actions in MDL 3092. These figures count lawsuits, not every potential claimant.
Core Discovery Is Underway
Under the March 27 bellwether protocol, depositions in the 50-case Core Discovery Pool run from July 13, 2026 to January 15, 2027.
Provider Depositions

What the FDA Found About Buprenorphine and Dental Problems
In January 2022, the FDA required a new warning about dental problems for buprenorphine medicines that dissolve in the mouth. Reports included decay, cavities, oral infections, erosion and tooth loss, sometimes in patients with no history of dental issues.
305 Reports
The FDA's review covered 305 reported dental adverse events.
131 Serious
Of those, 131 were classified as serious.
113 Multi-Tooth
113 reports described damage to two or more teeth.
71 Extractions
Tooth extraction was the treatment reported most often.
Other reported treatments included root canals, dental surgery, crowns and implants. The FDA notes these reports do not show how likely dental problems are for any individual and that buprenorphine's benefits for opioid use disorder and pain clearly outweigh the risks.
Illustrative Suboxone Settlement Ranges
The ranges below match Legal Lawsuit’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.

No reliable universal range.Who Should Get a Suboxone Tooth Decay Claim Reviewed?
An online estimate cannot tell you whether you qualify. A real review looks at which product you took and when, how healthy your teeth were beforehand, when damage began, what care you needed, the warnings given, your state's law and how strong your records are.
Facts That May Support Closer Review
- Use of Suboxone film under the tongue that pharmacy, prescriber, clinic or insurer records can verify
- Cavities, enamel erosion, infections, broken teeth or lost teeth that appeared after starting the film
- Root canals, crowns, extractions, implants, dentures or reconstructive procedures
- Older dental charts or X-rays showing what your teeth looked like before use
- Consistent dental and prescription timeline
- Proof of past dental bills, expected future care, missed income or effects on eating and speaking
Issues Requiring Individual Review
- Tablet-only, generic or uncertain product use
- Significant pre-existing decay, gum disease or missing teeth
- Other possible causes such as smoking, chronic dry mouth, injury or diet
- 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
Proof that you used the film itself, with fill dates, the prescribing provider and length of use, often decides which company is responsible and which legal theory fits.
2. Baseline Dental Health
Dental records and images from before treatment help separate new damage from decay, gum disease or missing teeth that already existed.
3. Number of Teeth & Procedures
Damage involving several teeth, infections, root canals, crowns, extractions, implants or full reconstruction usually means a much heavier treatment load.
4. Future Dental Care
Future replacement crowns, implant upkeep, dentures, bone grafts and later restorative work can add costs for years.
5. Economic & Daily Impact
Supported losses such as out-of-pocket bills, lost work time, eating restrictions, speech difficulty, pain and changes in appearance can all factor into damages.
6. Causation & State Law
Whether a claim succeeds can turn on expert testimony, the adequacy of warnings, other possible causes, the state law that applies and the filing deadline.

How the Suboxone Settlement Calculator Works
Suboxone Lawsuit Filing Deadlines Vary by State
No single national cutoff applies to every Suboxone tooth-damage claim. The time limit can turn on the state where the case is filed, when the injury occurred and was diagnosed, when a link to the drug was or should have been discovered, which company is sued, earlier lawsuits and any tolling rules.
