Description
In every field of medicine, and especially in dentistry, clinicians strive to minimize the risks and complications associated with procedures. However, despite their best efforts, adverse outcomes and procedural errors are an inevitable part of practice. This book aims to equip young dentists and students with the knowledge and foresight to anticipate, prevent, and manage mishaps that may occur during common dental procedures. By examining the potential risks and complications that can arise from negligence, anatomical anomalies, or the complexity of certain treatments, the book offers a systematic and practical guide to ensuring better patient outcomes. The goal is to provide clinicians with not only the knowledge of these errors but also the strategies for their effective management, empowering them to handle any unexpected situation with skill and confidence. Through real-world examples and evidence-based advice, this book emphasizes the importance of understanding basic anatomy, proper technique, and the continual advancement of dental tools and instruments. It also discusses how humility and adaptability are crucial to the clinician’s growth, particularly when it comes to accepting mistakes and learning from them.
