Should a prosthesis without further crack between two snaps

Question:

My mother in law got for about 3 years ago made snaps of his dentures by a dentist. to solve the problem with a loose prosthesis. The problem was that the gum was about to disappear (my mother in law is 82 years old) work was done at a price of 30000 DKK She then led the push locks changed twice, which she had not been informed about. However, now happened is that the prosthesis is broken between two snaps. It was reparetet two weeks ago (for £ 900) and is now broken again. The question is whether a prosthesis like that should be able to crack and the treating dentist should not be informed about the risk of it, and is guaranteed to the original work. My mother in law was told that there was a lifetime warranty on the work carried out to 30000. What can we do to help her?

Answer:

Dear Steen,

This suggests the communication gap in your case. Basically there is no guarantee of dental care, but you always have the option of filing a complaint.

Free. more about the complaint about dentistry or dental

For the prosthesis, it is to specifically comment on, as you have to see the patient and provide a professional assessment from that.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen

Patient Insurance convicted of utterances about drug

Dental Association's Patient Insurance has today been sentenced to pay CMS Dental 2.5 million. million in damages.

The judgment has fallen in a case concerning an article in Dentistry magazine from 2005. The article advised the President of the Dental Association's Patient Insurance dentists to be careful when they used 4% articaine with bedøvelser in the lower jaw.

The judgment does not clarify whether there is a greater risk of using articaine than using other anesthetic agents for anesthesia in the mandible.

Dental Association's Patient Insurance takes note of the judgment.

President of the Dental Association's Patient Insurance, Dental Jahn Legarth, said:

- When I was invited to write article for Tandlægebladet had previously been written in the magazine on articaine. Pharmaceutical Insurance Association was informed, and thus there was also passed information to the Medicines Authority, which is responsible for drug safety. I do not know what I would have done if I had known beforehand that the article would lead to a lawsuit that has had great personal cost to me.

Dental Association President Susanne Andersen says:

- The judgment includes some scary prospects. It will be important for us, medical associations and other health organizations. We are concerned that the High Court's judgment will be seen as a restriction of free speech in the health care debate about possible adverse effects of drugs. The judgment does not change that it is the individual dentist's duty to advise his patients as possible and report adverse reactions to the Medicines Agency.

Dental Association's Patient Insurance has not yet ruled on whether the judgment should be appealed.

Dental Association and the Dental Patient Insurance Association has no further comments to the judgment.
