This is our monthly summary of the Suboxone film tooth decay litigation. It covers what changed in the past month and what comes next. The dated history is kept in the update log on our Suboxone lawsuit page.
Following This Because of Your Teeth?
You may have a claim if all three are true:
- You used brand-name Suboxone film, generally starting before the dental warning was added to the label in June 2022.
- After you began the film you had serious dental damage: extractions, broken teeth, root canals, crowns, implants or dentures.
- Dental records show the damage, and pharmacy records can show the film.

Where Things Stand in November 2026
- 2,016 cases were pending in MDL 3092 on November 2, 2026, about level with 2,022 a month earlier. The court is the Northern District of Ohio and the judge is J. Philip Calabrese.
- No settlement has been announced, and no case has been tried.
- No class action. Each person files an individual lawsuit.
What Happened in the Past Month
The court held its scheduled status conference on October 27. No order from it had been made public as of November 3. The work in front of the court is depositions: under the September 22 order, 35 cases make up the core discovery pool, and 22 of those plaintiffs had been deposed by early November.
The docket was nearly flat after a jump in September, when it rose by 195 cases in a month.
What Comes Next
- January 15, 2027: depositions in the core discovery pool end.
- January 29, 2027: a 15-case trial pool is chosen.
- June 11, 2027: proposed date for picking four bellwether cases.
- March 2028: proposed date for the first trial.
What It Means for People With Dental Injuries
Trials are more than a year away, and nothing in the schedule pauses a state deadline. If you used brand-name film and lost teeth, the questions are whether the claim qualifies and whether it is still timely. Our Suboxone lawsuit page covers both, and our post on the payout per person explains why no one can quote a number yet. State pages: Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee.
