CE Hours: 1.5
Description: Dr. John Olmsted will present case studies of several real endodontic malpractice cases to the audience. He will highlight endodontic procedures that became issues for dentists, and also endodontic procedures that developed problems for endodontists. A discussion will follow each case, giving the audience a chance to discuss the risk management issues involved in each case. The audience will then be asked to act as a jury, reaching a verdict on the case, and a dollar amount on a judgment. The audience will then be given the real-life verdicts and awards.

- Explain how errors in record keeping, diagnosis, treatment planning, and endodontic treatment will affect the claims handling and legal process
- List the cost in terms of judgments rendered against dentists/endodontists through the discussion of real-life malpractice case examples
