Sources of prosthodontic malpractice

Prosthodontic restoration accounts for about two thirds of most dentists' practice. This includes the delivery of crowns, fixed partial dentures (FPDs), and removable dentures in many cases. These restorations can have a dramatic impact on the patient's oral function, oral comfort, appearance, self-esteem, and social interactions. The ultimate goal of any prosthodontic treatment is to provide the patient with a quality experience and achieve overall satisfaction with the treatment. To achieve these goals requires careful planning, appropriate clinical skills, and adherence to technical standards and established guidelines for practice.
