“… 36 Orthodontists are expected to have advanced knowledge and expertise in CAT, whereas the same level of understanding is not necessarily expected of general practitioners. Regrettably, a high occurrence of malpractice has been identified in the field of orthodontics, 37 and orthodontic treatment should be supervised under orthodontists or qualified dentists. 38 This indicates the potential risk of nonorthodontists practicing CAT.…”

“…Serious adverse events during and/or after dental implantation in the mandible have been reported, including deaths from hemorrhage and suffocation. The major cause of these accidents was damage to the sublingual, deep lingual, or submental artery [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Therefore, the presence and paths of branches of the lingual and facial arteries on the lingual aspect of the mandible should be determined in detail by non-invasive examination prior to implantation.…”

“…However, severe complications can occur in dental implantation surgery [ 1 , 2 ]. Serious adverse events have been reported, such as death due to hemorrhage and suffocation after and/or during dental implantation in the mandible [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Accordingly, it is important to fully comprehend the outline and course of peripheral blood vessels on the lingual aspect of the mandible to prevent such complications.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a balanced steady-state free-precession (SSFP) sequence with a time–spatial labeling inversion pulse (time–SLIP) without contrast medium could elucidate branches of the lingual and facial arteries on the lingual aspect of the mandible as a potential technique for preventing severe complications in dental implantation surgery. In this study, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) using SSFP with a time–SLIP was evaluated in 40 subjects. The outline and course of branches of the lingual and facial arteries near the mandible were assessed clinically in the same subjects against contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images as the gold standard. The submental, sublingual, and deep lingual arteries could be visualized via MRA in 16, 20, and 16 of the 40 subjects, respectively. The major axes of the respective arteries were approximately 24, 24, and 16 mm. The outline and course of all visualized arteries coincided with those on CT. MRA using SSFP with a time–SLIP appears to have potential as a non-contrast technique for visualizing branches of the lingual and facial arteries on the lingual aspect of the mandible. Information regarding the outline and course of these arteries as obtained using this MRA technique could assist in preventing severe complications in dental implantation surgery.

“…The abundance of information also results from statistics performed at national level, but especially internationally in terms of biomedical (etiology, practice guides), financial and social aspects. Globally, an overwhelming number of studies point out that the number of cases of dental malpractice is on the rise [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. But the concept of dental malpractice is not a relatively new one.…”

In Romania, the term dental malpractice is relatively new compared to medical malpractice. The common premises that underlie these iatrogenics have made doctors more vigilant about treatment and achieving the desired results. At the same time, the conditions of medical liability are consistent with those of civil liability, namely: damage, wrongdoing, guilt, and causation. To counteract these effects, public attention has been focused in recent years on patients' rights (involving, causes, effects, informed consent of the patient regarding the collection of personal data, informing the patient about the work itself, and possible complications which may occur postoperatively). As a result, the number of reported cases of malpractice has increased markedly in recent years.
