Summary:
Graskemper, a practicing dentist who has a law degree and teaches dental law and ethics and professionalism at Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine, addresses the legal and ethical issues dentists may face in practice and the connected professionalism, risk management, and practice management issues. Using 45 cases from his practice, consultations, and expert witnessing experiences, he discusses legal concepts, regulation, the doctor-patient relationship, refusing treatment, the medical-dental history, child abuse, informed consent, records, statute of limitations, patient abandonment, standard of care, peer review, employees and associates, and new dentist issues such as associateships, starting or buying a practice, marketing, patient trust, employee management, and multispecialty practice.
