Abstract

In Romania, the term dental malpractice is relatively new compared to medical malpractice. The common premises that underlie these iatrogenics have made doctors more vigilant about treatment and achieving the desired results. At the same time, the conditions of medical liability are consistent with those of civil liability, namely: damage, wrongdoing, guilt, and causation. To counteract these effects, public attention has been focused in recent years on patients' rights (involving, causes, effects, informed consent of the patient regarding the collection of personal data, informing the patient about the work itself, and possible complications which may occur postoperatively). As a result, the number of reported cases of malpractice has increased markedly in recent years.
