Legal implications and considerations in dental practice management

B Katz et al. Dent Clin North Am. 1988 Jan.

Abstract

This article deals with the legal aspects and ramifications of several common situations that arise in dental practices. The authors deal specifically with the areas of contracts and guarantees; unilateral termination of treatment while avoiding charges of abandonment; treatment of minors and the necessity for informed consent; fraud and misrepresentation; and employer-employee considerations. These areas are briefly analyzed with suggestions for prevention of problems.
