This risk management, record keeping, & ethics course is presented for dental practitioners and their office team members. Attendees will:

• View actual investigations and cases of alleged violations of the Texas Dental Practice Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners.

At the conclusion of this course, participants will have completed and understand:

• A review of actual clinical dentistry cases, including record keeping violations which led to TSDBE investigation and disciplinary actions.
• The value of ethical approaches to clinical dentistry in their own practice, and implementation of risk management procedures and protocols to prevent patient complaints to the TSBDE.
• A thorough review of the applicable provisions of the Texas Dental Practice Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners, which most often result in patient complaints to the TSBDE.
