Abstract

This article reviews the key aspects of reducing the litigation aspects of the management of periodontal diseases and in particular periodontitis. Litigation arising from gingivitis, the other type of periodontal disease, is very rare and is therefore not considered in this article. This paper considers diagnosis, record keeping, communication, management of periodontitis including non-engaging patients and referrals. It provides guidance to reduce risks and improve the care for patients.
