Resumo
After promulgation and wider dissemination of the Code of Consumer Protection, there was an increase
in the number of legal conflicts between patients and dentists, leading these health professionals to increasingly
guard themselves from possible lawsuits. As such, it becomes critical the preparation of an adequate and complete
clinical record, even though the keeping time remains uncertain. Objective: To review the literature and discuss the
keeping time of orthodontic records versus the legal time for their prescription, as well as to propose a model of a Term
upon Completion of Dental Treatment. Conclusion: It is advised to return part of the clinical records to their rightful
owners by means of an itemized receipt. The Term upon Completion reflects the patient’s awareness and could be
considered by the CCP as the initial term of the prescription time, because it implicates that the patient recognizes the
quality of service provided and satisfactory results achieved.
