Abstract

Medical errors in dentistry are a complex problem. There is no unambiguous and comprehensive definition of this concept. The article examines the existing classifications of medical errors, discusses their advantages and disadvantages. Possible alternative classifications of medical errors for objective and subjective reasons, for medical and non-medical factors influencing diagnosis and treatment, according to the severity of the harm done to the patient are considered. Medicine is developing, so the term "medical error" requires not just a modern view, but also official recognition as a problem. It is necessary to supplement and clarify it, for ease of use in official medical documents.
