Legal implications of using drugs and devices in the dental office.

Choosing dental products that are FDA and/or ADA approved is a wise choice concerning their safety and efficacy for approved uses. However, the dentist must show that the product was indicated by a particular patient's needs. Uses of approved dental products in nonapproved ways or use of nonapproved products may be considered as negligence in some malpractice actions, but allowed under standards of reasonableness in other situations. The dentist must be able to justify decisions on a scientific basis. Legal ramifications of various decisions made in the context of difficult prescription choices are discussed.

The dental technician and the attitude of dentists towards his role in Japan.

Historically the development of the Japanese dental care delivery system necessitated the enaction of the Dental Laboratory Technique Law. The Health Insurance Scheme, at present, is not able to operate without the collaboration of dental laboratory technicians. This means that the dental technician may introduce a possible competitive inter-relationship with the dentist who relies on prosthetic dentistry as the major source of his income. It does not mean illegal practice by dental technicians which has so far been negligible. The occupation of the dental technician, therefore, would seem to be very stable. Results obtained during the International Collaborative Study of the Dental Manpower Systems, however, showed some psychological conflict amongst the responding dental technicians.

[Legal responsibility of the dentist in life-threatening incidents].

Emergencies in the dental office or outside of it are not infrequent. Hemmorrhages, cardiopulmonal failure and the syndrome of lack of breath constitute life endangering emergencies. The dentist must be able to cope with them by adequate prophylactic and therapeutic measures which must be learned by contuous education. Also, certain basic materials must be available immediately in the office. If and when such an emergency occurs, patient and family of the patient must be told the complete story. In case of death, the police must be called even if the dentist is convinced of his innocence. In order to be covered against liability claims, an insurance is mandatory. Such insurance covers the dentist not only against justified claims but also against unjustified ones.
