Medical damage and errors in dentistry

Medical error in dentistry

It is possible that diagnostic-therapeutic errors may occur also in dentistry, mostly related to a few well-defined sectors.

Medical errors in the field of dentistry may concern the failure of implantology that causes a functional damage to the patient.

Another sensitive issue is the error in the health behavior in the management of the doctor-patient relationship during the moments of conflict and difficulties.

Patients who have been injured because of a clinical error during dental treatment can file a medical malpractice lawsuit against the doctor to obtain a compensation for the damage.

Obviously, in order to be able to receive a financial compensation, it is necessary you can prove the dentist's mistake before taking an action for damages.

The absence or the existence of an incomplete medical record can support the patient in demonstrating medical negligence on the part of the dentist.
