Description

We are all familiar with the terms “informed consent” and “standard of care” but do we really know what those terms mean or how they relate to our ability to practice good dentistry? Are we really sure what the standard of care is or who determines it? This presentation is designed to define and clarify two important legal concepts that have a significant impact on our ability to practice with confidence and security.

Learning Objectives:

• define the standard of care
• provide proper informed consent
• manage risk more effectively in their orthodontic practice
