Surgical Errors

Surgical errors are preventable with proper treatment planning, maintenance of equipment, and proper training of staff members.

Surgical errors due to faulty equipment can lead to permanent injury to the patient, such as a broken drill bit in the inferior alveolar nerve. Fractured mandibles can occur if too much force is used in attempting to remove teeth.
These are preventable injuries.

No dental care should result in injury to the patient.

Dental injuries, whether from inadequate doctor or staff training, or negligent care, can result in loss of teeth, loss of bone of the jaws, permanent nerve damage, infection, hospitalization, brain damage and death.
