My 10 year old female had 2 teeth removed. The vet gave her a shot of antibiotics.  Since then she has been urinating outside her litter box.  Could these two things be related/  Could she have a urinary tract infection causing her to lose control of her bladder and urinate outside the box?

It is possible that she has cystitis caused by stress.  It is actually fairly common for kitties to have cystitis and there be no bacteria present, for some reason stress shows itself in the bladder for a lot of kitties.  I would call the vet's office tomorrow and let them know what is going on.  There are medications they can give that ease the spasms and pain.
