Dr James Stafford is one of several leading clinicians presenting ADI webinars. Available to ADI members for free, his session is entitled, “The consent process in Implant Dentistry. Is it worth the paper it’s written on? How to protect yourself.” He says:
“Every dentist wants to reduce the risk of a claim being made against them for work they have provided. Unfortunately, the combination of high costs, long treatment times, and small but inherent risks of complications and failure with dental implants mean that patient dissatisfaction can be hard to avoid and we sometimes make easy targets.
“In this presentation I cover the history of consent (more interesting than it sounds… I think!) and issues which may be helpful to improve the chances of consent being ‘informed’ in the unfortunate event of complications arising. It is hoped that for all dentists, but especially those practising implant dentistry, watching this presentation will increase awareness and understanding of consent and litigation, therefore helping avoid potential vulnerability in the future.”
