  • Title: Legal aspects of orthodontic practice: risk management concepts. Periodontal disease in orthodontic practice.
    Author: Machen DE.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 1989 May; 95(5):445-7. PubMed ID: 2718975.
    Abstract:
    In this and succeeding issues of the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, factual risk management scenarios will be presented. These scenarios are based on composites of actual court cases that have been tried to verdict or decision. Valuable risk management lessons may be learned from careful analysis of the course of the events described. Please be advised that the standard of care determined in any case is specific for that jurisdiction and that set of facts as established by expert testimony for the prevailing party.
