Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Today most dentists are aware of the amount of litigation initiated by former patients alleging misconduct. However, few dentists seem to be aware of the number of disciplinary proceedings that have been brought against dentists and hygienists. This article describes some of the more significant differences between malpractice litigation and disciplinary proceedings.
