Abstract
This course consists of three modules. The modules are taken from Forensic Dentistry: Working from Failure, Moving Forward with Solutions.
Dr. John Dovgan, DDS, is a State Board consultant and expert witness. He’s an established Standard of Care Investigator (S.C.I.), whose resume includes more than 1,300 dental board cases, 130 lawsuits, and multiple states and federal class action lawsuits. He created the first checklist the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners adopted for consultant use in blanket allegation cases.
Dentists, even the best and brightest, are human. That means they can (and do) make mistakes while treating patients. Treatment errors can lead to adverse outcomes. Most dentists will learn from their mistakes and not repeat them. Some dentists, however, won’t. In this course, Dr. Dovgan advocates for prevention as the best medicine. He discusses health checks as part of the standard of care. He reveals how certain life-threatening conditions can develop from otherwise routine dental procedures. Finally, he explains how personality traits and work habits can negatively impact a dentist’s performance.
This online course qualifies for 1 hour of CE credit that is automatically issued with a digital certificate once you have completed the program. This course is intended for practicing dentists, but it will also prove valuable to dental board members, current and future dental consultants, and permit examiners.
