Abstract

ABSTRACT This article aims to show the importance of thorough radiological documentation in dental care in lawsuits in which there is deemed a need for forensic evidence in civil liability cases involving a dentist and a patient. This study seeks to demonstrate the relationship between the drafting of the recommended documentation and the proper development of the treatment. The implications of one's non-compliance with ethical and legal duties are illustrated here through a case report of a settlement involving an orthodontist.RESUMO O artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar a importância de uma documentação radiológica cuidadosa no atendimento odontológico em casos que exista a necessidade de prova pericial em processo de responsabilidade civil envolvendo cirurgião-dentista e paciente.
