Standardof Care
Is there a separate standard of care for a specialist than for a general dentist doing specialty work?
NO!!!

Failure to diagnose and treat periodontal disease falls below
the standard of care.

First, an accurate diagnosis is essential. Then an appropriate treatment plan including etiology and prognosis must be formulated.

Clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, and procedures are decided, whenever possible, on evidence-based data and controlled clinical studies in peer-reviewed scientific literature.
This is somewhat of a controversial statement.

Second, treatment is traditionally divided into 3 phases:
Non-surgical Therapy Surgical Therapy Maintenance Phase

![Page 11: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Periodontal surgery when not followed by good professional and personal care, will, in many cases, fail.
Nyman et al, J. Clin. Perio, 1977
Becker et al, J. Perio, 1984 showed that when maintenance is provided, a surgical approach to treatment of moderate to advanced periodontitis is highly successful

![Page 12: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Patient compliance, even when optimal, must be reinforced by frequent maintenance and recall.
This requires a team effort by referring dentists, hygienists, and periodontists, which results in tooth retention and successful treatment in most cases.
Lindhe and Nyman, J. Clin. Perio, 198412
![Page 13: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Dentistry is not a perfect science. Outcomes of treatment do not have to be ideal to conform to the standard of care.
Treating beneath the standard of care is considered negligence.

Essential Components of Record Keeping
Medical and dental history Chart notes and results of
examinations Professional correspondence Insurance Requests Billing statements Informed consent HIPPA rules Radiographs Models, Photographs

Informed Consent
Patient must understand the options of treatment. Several possibilities usually exist to treat the periodontal problem.
The patient is an “active partner” to the clinician in their own care.
15
![Page 16: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
There are 5 Steps to Consent:
1. Their must be an understanding of the problem, the diagnosis.
2. The proposed treatment and alternative treatments must be fully explained.
3. No warranties or guarantees can be given.
4. Authorization must allow for change in plan if unforseen circumstances arise.
5. Discussion of all sequelae or side affects must be given.
16

Consent may be verbal or written but it must be fully understood by the patient. I use different forms for each procedure.

Beneficence
This is a legal concept that refers to providing the best possible care. If the practitioner is unable to do this, the patient must be referred to a competent specialist for continuing or more advanced care.
Dentists and periodontists are treatment partners.

Record Keeping
All records must be contemporaneous and must be signed and dated. Legally, a professional written record carries more weight than plaintiff’s (patient’s) recollection. If something is documented in the chart, it is claimed to have occurred. Conversely, it is difficult to establish the event, if not documented. Radiographs are important records. The number and timing depends on the severity and activity of the case. The FDA issued guidelines for a full mouth survey every 5 years and bite-wing films approximately every 12-18 months to illustrate periodontal disease and its changes.

Measuring and recording of pocket depths on six locations for each tooth provide the minimum foundation to document the legal responsibility for each patient. These pocket depth recordings are done at the initial exam, on completion of treatment, and once or twice a year during maintenance.

Traditional periodontal treatment including both surgical and non surgical techniques have very high success rates in saving teeth in a healthy, functional and esthetic state. This has been known for over 20-50 years.
Hirshfeld and Wasserman, J. Perio. 1978 Oliver, J. West Soc. Perio. 1969 Goldman, MJ et al, J Perio. 1986

Proper use of surgical regenerative procedures with a variety of grafts and membrane barriers have shown that bone and soft tissue that had been lost to periodontal disease can be regenerated and questionable teeth saved.

Controversial Comments
Using ineffective therapies to avoid traditionally effective ones may result in progression of disease around teeth that may ultimately be extracted.
Before using any new modality, any dentist should have histological, clinical and long-term proof that these procedures are effective.
Do we allow industry and companies with profit motive and little track record to establish the standard of care?
26
![Page 27: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Keyes technique, many time-released local antibiotics (chlorhexidine in a gelatin chip, tetracycline fibers, docycyline hyclate in a polymer carrier or minocycline microspheres) and even lasers were tested scientifically and found to yield little, if any, improvement over traditional scaling and root planing (without surgical therapy).

New products such as tissue healing modulators, growth factors (BMP-2) and even stem cells are promising additions to currently proven materials and techniques which will require evidence-based research currently being performed.

Implants-Controversy
Implant surfaces and designs make it difficult to find comparable long-term statistics for implants currently being used.
Would you rather have a healthy functioning tooth or an implant?
29
![Page 30: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
In 1952, in the JADA, DeVan stated that ”Our objective should be the perpetual preservation of what remains rather than the meticulous restoration of that which is missing.”

When do we place implants?
When periodontal disease is present; how long should we wait to place the implant? How much bone loss do we accept before deciding to place the implant?
There are shades of gray- answers are not always black and white.
Do we place implants when adjacent teeth are virgin teeth?
31
![Page 32: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
In circumstances where extraction and implant placement is indicated, the patient should know the options, risks, benefits, anticipated results and potential complications before implant treatment is considered.
32
![Page 33: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
There can be complications in implant placement. Pjetursson (2004) reported that 38.7 percent of patients had complications in the first 5 years after implantation
Lang(2004) reported that biological and technical complications with implant-supported restorations occurred in about 50 percent of cases after 10 years in function.

![Page 34: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
This may dispel the belief that implants are a trouble- free panacea when compared to the retention of teeth that require periodontal treatment.
The standard of care takes into account all of our findings, clinical and radiographic, all our knowledge of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment considerations and alternatives.

The presence or absence of papillae can be anticipated by
measuring the distance from the proximal bone o the contact point.
When the distance is less than 5mm (4.2mm), the chances of having a complete papilla is
excellent.

Diagnosis
Evaluation of pulpal and periradicular status must be performed for every tooth to be treated
106
![Page 107: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Pulp Testing
Indicated tests include thermal, electrical, percussion, palpation and mobility
Occlusal discrepancies should also be evaluated
Reproduction of patient’s symptoms “is desirable, if not mandatory”
107

Radiographs
Radiographs of diagnostic quality are requiredIf periapical lesion is apparent,
entire lesion should be visualizedMay require additional angles or types of films (bitewing, occlusal, panoramic)
113
![Page 114: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Emergencies
Many emergencies can or even should be initially treated with medication
Pulpotomies are acceptable treatments for vital teeth
Pulpectomies are the indicated treatment for necrotic teeth, with or without periradicular disease
Incision and drainage can be used to relieve pressure buildup in a localized fluctuant swelling

Analgesics
OTC drugs are usually sufficient to control much endodontic-related painNSAIDs , if tolerated, typically offer
more relief than other analgesicsNSAIDs help remove the source of a
patient’s pain- a buildup of inflammation in the jawbone
Acetaminophen is recommended if there is a contraindication to NSAIDs or in combination with NSAIDs for enhanced pain control

• This could be considered a standard of care, as the AAE requires all endodontists to be trained in the use of magnification and illumination
123

Magnification
Accreditation Standards for Advanced Specialty Education Programs in
Endodontics
Use of magnification technologies. Intent: The intent is to ensure that students/residents are trained in the use of instruments that provide magnification and illumination of the operative field beyond that of magnifying eyewear. In addition to the operating microscope, these instruments may include, but are not limited to, the endoscope, orascope or other developing magnification.

Apex Locators
Eliminate need for multiple working films
Canal lengths should be verified radiographically before root canal filling is bonded into place
Apex locators do not replace radiographs in confirming that all canals or tortuous canal space has been instrumented

Cone Beam CT Scans
Interpretation
Clinicians ordering a CBCT are responsible for interpreting the entire image volume, just as they are for any other radiographic image. Any radiograph may demonstrate findings that are significant to the health of the patient. There is no informed consent process that allows the clinician to interpret only a specific area of an image volume. Therefore, the clinician can be liable for a missed diagnosis, even if it is outside his/her area of practice. Any questions by the practitioner regarding image data interpretation should promptly be referred to a specialist in oral and maxillofacial radiology.
126
![Page 127: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Cone Bean CT Scans
CBCT should only be used when the question for which imaging is required cannot be answered adequately by lower dose conventional dental radiography or alternate imaging modalities.
Smaller scan volumes generally produce higher resolution images, and since endodontics relies on detecting disruptions in the periodontal ligament space measuring approximately 200μm, optimal resolution is necessary.

Irrigation
Most common intracanal irrigant is Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl)Dilution to 1% or 2.5% is generally
considered a safer concentration in the prevention of “hypochlorite accidents”
Side-venting irrigating syringe should fit into the canals loosely, and never be expressed under pressure
NaOCl has both antibacterial and tissue dissolving properties
130

Irrigation
Chlorhexidine 2%, EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and saline are also commonly used during instrumentation
Calcium Hydroxide gel is the most often used inter-appointment medicament

NiTi vs. Stainless Steel
Rotary Nickel-Titanium instrumentation is currently the most common method of cleaning and shaping the root canalsThese do have a higher propensity of
instrument separation than stainless steel hand files.Experience in handling these
instruments is the only way to learn the limits of torque and pressure
132
![Page 133: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/133.jpg)
Filling Materials
Gutta Percha with eugenol-based sealer is still the most common root canal filling material
Resin based, bonded root canal fillings are becoming more popular, as wellThere does not appear to be any
conclusive advantage to either filling material at this time
133
![Page 134: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)

Occlusal Restorations
• The occlusal restoration of a root canalled tooth is as important at preventing infection as the root canal, itself.
• Cuspal coverage minimizes likelihood of root fracture
136
![Page 137: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
Occlusal Restorations
• During the time between the onset of root canal treatment and placement of the definitive occlusal restoration, heavy occlusal and lateral forces should be eliminated.
137

Persistent Discomfort
Several days of discomfort post-treatment is not unusual.
Discomfort that lasts weeks or months sometimes resolves on its own, but often indicates either uncleaned irritant in the canal system or other, more serious defects, i.e.cracked root.

Standards?What do we mean?
Procedural Specific treatments: Example: Crown
preparation = minimal reduction for desired outcome? (esthetics = ?porcelain)
CareOverall care: Treatments which in
toto attempt to deal with all of patients needs or desires
148
![Page 149: Risk management presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5479b1cab4af9f46698b46c3/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
Reasons to Know & Use Standards
• Better possible patient care outcome if followed• Benchmarking to an agreed upon and codified
process and outcome– Generally developed by some recognized
dental organization– Often evaluated and modified over many years
• Guidelines to treatment planning• May offer some (not guaranteed) legal “shelter”
especially in procedural outcomes• If not used can allow for challenge by expert or
institutional (insurance, licensing, educational, peer) review

What Are the Problems with Standards
Not all are agreed upon: What is most important
No Gold Standard to compare toOften address procedural rather

Probably the Most Important Standard Is…
… the Process of Treatment• Findings
– Histories, examinations (intraoral, radiographs, etc.)
• Diagnosis• Treatment planning
– What do patients want?– Can it be achieved?– Informed consent
• Risks, benefits, potential outcomes

Second Most Important Standard
Information and communicationAsk What the patient wantsLet them know their needsWhat are the risks associated with
treatment of either needs or wants

(My) Guidelines
• Use some guideline/standard that has been developed by some recognized group
– American College of Prosthodontists, AAGD, Dental School (nearby/community/accredited, graduated from), state, other
– Fairly recently developed or revised– In some way addresses patient concerns and your
communication to them
• Treatment guide is evidence that is literature basedwhenever possible
– CorchoranCollborative reviews,– Research at some level above technique, case report, or bench
study articles
• Communicate– Write in record– Write letters
156

Diagnosis
• After your findings, determine if you wish to proceed
• Diagnostic Codes will SOON be a reality– Introduces new level of documentation– Electronic health records (Standard in 2014)
well help • Insurance companies and lawyers will be
looking at Dx codes related to treatment plans– Not lists of required tx’s but possibilities
• document tx reasons related to findings for paper or electronic record

FULL CROWN COVERAGE (All Porcelain )The Full Crown Coverage-(All Porcelain) restoration is an indirect restorative procedure involving full replacement of the functional clinical crown. The crown is fabricated from different porcelains without a metal substructure. These restorations are usually limited to single unit crowns and are indicated when maximum esthetics is desired for a full coverage crown.Indications1. For restoration of tooth defects from either dental caries, tooth fracture, developmental defects, or replacement of defective restorations.2.When full coverage is required and the esthetic demand is paramount. 3.Retainer for a fixed partial denture. 4.Retainer and rest seat for removable partial denture clasp. 5.Patient preference.Contraindications1.Patient has a demonstrated allergy or medical intolerance to a component of the restorative material.2.Poor periodontal prognosis for tooth retention. 3.Presence of a direct pulp cap. 4.Patients with high and/or poorly controlled caries activity. 5.When there is insufficient sound tooth structure to support and retain the restoration. 6.Excessive or abrasive occlusal function. 7.Patient preference. 8.Patient economic resources. Outcomes Assessment1. No evidence of caries beneath or adjacent to the Full Crown Coverage-(All Porcelain) restoration.2.Normal occlusal functions and tooth contours are maintained. 3.The restoration remains intact and continues to function acceptably.

Focused Standards
• Delta Dental– Quality of Life (recently validated)
• Published but not used• Not embraced by community
• Dental schools, offices– Process promises
• We promise to do our best• We will communicate• We’ll be nice• Etc.

Standards would be impossible to achieve if too
detailed and without exceptions.
Be careful which ones you choose.

What are minimal procedural standards for prosthodontics
we could all feel comfortable with?
Preparation Know anatomy of tooth so as not to over-
prepare Look at recent literature, i.e.
Full crown preparation removes approximately ~ 67 -75% of coronal tooth structure:Toothstructure removal associated with various preparation designs for posterior teeth.Edelhoff D, Sorensen JA.Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2002 Jun;22(3):241-9.

If Pulp Exposure Happens Anyway
Tell patient beforehand of risks and what will happen if a pulp exposure resultsEndodontics, post, etc
Do or refer endodontics and don’t charge

Probable Agreement for Fixed and Removable
• Occlusion: normal comfort ,function and bilateral simultaneous contact Beyron, H, 1959
• Esthetics: Fits within the remaining tooth structure
• Materials: those which are least likely to fail according to most recent literature
• Communication with patient:– Informed consent – At least discussion noted in record as to
potential problems and longevity

Continuing Education: Always Good to Have Recorded
• Keep up with state CE requirements• Go to programs that are relevant to patient
care and keep copies– Hands-on can be good– Jump-in with new procedures or
products at peril unless research outcomes are well documented
• DON’T base a Standard , or any other treatment, on what some lecturer says! Won’t hold up in court no matter what the Speaker’s reputation.

What’s in the Future
• Implants– With dentures: likely yes, but with limitations – bone,
patient health– Fixed prosthodontics: Soon but with limitations as above– Grafting – not many longitudinal studies but some
• CaMBRA– Yes and very soon
• TMD?– Unlikely although research data is getting better
• CAD/CAM?– Too early to tell in popular literature
• Amalgam v. Composite– No current research evidence but a lot of buzz in popular
press

Council on Dental Accreditation – CODA
• One of main Standards is to teach to evidence based care– Cochrane Collaborative= highest level of
research reviews = http://www2.cochrane.org/reviews/
– National Library of Medicine website: pubmed.gov http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
• CODA will de facto determine the standards of care for procedural outcomes within the next 10 years as this mandated dental school accreditation standard will go into affect 2013
