In light of the fact that dentists may be held civilly liable for their practice, it is important to understand the current situation of lawsuits filed against these professionals by studying current legal decisions and the literature. The objective of this study was to analyze the case law of the Court of Justice of São Paulo, Brazil, relative to the profile of patients and professionals, the most commonly involved specialties, the amounts litigated and the court decisions pertaining to civil liability lawsuits against dentists. In an inductive approach, a single researcher screened and collected civil liability rulings by accessing the Court's website, and following a statistical-descriptive procedure and an indirect observation technique. The most frequently involved specialty was prosthodontics. However, oral and maxillofacial surgery was related to a higher incidence of damages awarded to settle claims and to higher damage amounts.

This review analyzes how to treat deep carious lesions taking into consideration histophysiologic and biomolecular events of the dentin-pulp complex in permanent teeth. We focus on clinical resources to assess the degree of lesion progression and to guide the removal of carious lesions.Indirect Pulp Treatment, Stepwise Excavation and Partial Caries Removal are described by presenting clinical cases, and their follow-ups, led by students of Integrated Clinic II of the School of Dentistry, Universidad de la República, Uruguay.These simple and inexpensive treatments are available to all clinicians and significantly decrease the number of pulp exposures.The success of these therapeutic options depends on the proper selection of cases and on the integrity of the restoration within a comprehensive preventive plan.

“…Several possible risk factors for nerve injury related to endodontic treatments have been reported, including the tooth location (Rosen, 2014;Rosen et al, 2016;Tilotta-Yasukawa et al, 2006;Pogrel et al, 2011) and the patient's gender (Bjorndal & Reit, 2008;Givol et al, 2010;Givol et al, 2002). Acknowledging the possible risk factors for nerve injury may be beneficial for prevention and diagnosis of such injuries (Pogrel, 2017;Rosen, 2014;Pogrel et al, 2011).…”
