This case-based presentation will provide risk management strategies to reduce the potential for being sued for dental malpractice. It will take participants through the dental malpractice litigation process, initially explaining what constitutes dental malpractice and lack of informed consent, discuss the requirements and pitfalls of record keeping (focusing on issues specific to Texas), review the most common case types that lead to malpractice claims, provide actual closed case scenarios to demonstrate real world applications of the principles, and conclude with general risk management takeaways that can be employed in everyday dental practice. Attention will be given to the role that office staff members sometimes play in situations which lead to lawsuits, as well as the effects of criticisms by subsequent dental practitioners. There will be an opportunity for a volunteer participant to undergo an abbreviated courtroom mock cross-examination to show the intensity of and vulnerabilities in those proceedings.Attendees Will Learn
