“…Additionally, patients should be advised that those documents must be carefully stored and presented both in the review consultations and/or in court, if necessary. 9 It was found that only 13.9% of Brazilian orthodontists studied in this survey (Filter II) agree with the authors in (a) considering that the OTR's belong to the patient and (b) duplicating the treatment records when treatment is interrupted and/or in all cases.…”

“…Thus, at the end of treatment, orthodontists should require the patient to obtain the final records and sign a copy of the request form as a receipt. 8,9 Although professionals registered with the Brazilian Federal Council of Dentistry (CFO) are obligated to prepare the patients' clinical records and keep them on file, much confusion still surrounds this issue, for if, on the one hand, the Civil Code establishes that individual lawsuits are time-barred by the statute of limitations in twenty years, on the other hand, the Consumer Protection Code (CPC) provides that any suit for damages brought against service providers is time-barred in five years, counted from the moment that one is made aware of the losses and the party liable for such losses. 10,11 However, OTR's must be kept on file for an indefinite period of time.…”

“…This fact can be ascertained by analyzing and comparing surveys conducted by De Paula et al 1 and by Wanderley and Lima et al 2 in the Courts of Justice of Brazilian states, with an increase of more than 380% between 2000 and 2011. This phenomenon may be attributed to an increase in the number of healthcare professionals and, consequently, in the number of clinics; to an increase in the share of the population that has access to dental services; to a population who is more knowledgeable of their rights, and who, therefore, pursues legal action more often 3,4 ; and to the growth in the number of lawyers specialized in this area 5,6 . According to Ferrara 7 , the increase observed in the number of lawsuits results from post-modern Western society's cultural, social, structural and economic factors.…”
