Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the legal measures taken by Turkish dentists in endodontic treatments. Methods: The web-based questionnaire form consisted of eleven questions was send to the members of the Turkish Dental Association by email from February to March 2021 and 382 dentists filled the form. The participants were asked about their properties such as gender, years of experience, specialty, and their methods of clinic applications in endodontic procedures such as rubber-dam application, methods of informing the patients, storing/sharing the diagnostic documents, and allowing patients to have a companion. Results: All the participants informed their patients about the endodontic treatment but only the half of participants received written informed consent. When compared with other dental services, endodontics ranked 3rd according to the probability of having legal problems with the patient. Four-fifths of the participants reported using rubber dam in endodontic treatments. Almost one out of ten people did not archive the treatment documents. Conclusions: The results of this study should alert Turkish dentists to take special care to avoid facing claims and lawsuits about their legal liability.
