How much hydrocodone, or Vicodin, or  "Lortab", "Lorcet",  is
precribed by the average dentist in one year's time?

The question could just as well be "Lortab", "Lorcet", "Vicodin" or
"Vicodin ES". Whoever clarified the question, needs to re-clarify it.

I've worked in a pharmacy for years. Depending on your condition, most
dentists will prescribe:

Vicodin 5/500mg 
T-TT po q4-6 
#20

That's the 'standard' prescription. Many supplement with an NSAID like
Ibuprofen. Vicodin should be used for breakthrough pain in this
particular instance.
