Resumo
Introduction: The Consumer’s Defense Code was published twentyyears
ago and must be properly understood by all service providers,
including those of health care area. In this code, the rights and
obligations established for each side (professional and patient) are
listed in its contents. Besides that, the legal aspects related to the
supply, implementation, delivery, and warranty of products and services
offered by dental practice must be obligatorily observed to avoid
problems in consumer relations. Objective: Since the endodontist
can be ethically and/or legally demanded due to patient’s lack of
information about the endodontic treatment performed, this paper aims
to discuss, through a literature review, the dentist’s legal responsibility
especially considering the Consumer’s Defense Code. Conclusions:
The clinician’s responsibility when performing endodontic procedures
is demanded at all phases of treatment, even at a certain period after
the completion of clinical procedures. Therefore, the clinician should
be cautious about establishing a comprehensive treatment planning;
employing an Informed and Clarified Consent form; either referring the
patient or executing the final rehabilitation as soon as possible; and
also determining a follow-up criterion of the cases judged necessary,
establishing a follow-up appointment frequency and the necessity of
radiographic evaluation.
