Resumo
Dentoalveolar trauma may be caused by various factors such as aggression, accidental impacts and traffic
accidents. Depending on the type of trauma associated with the region and teeth affected, the dental procedures
may be conservative or more invasive, including the indication of extraction of traumatized teeth.
Bearing in mind that, in addition to the clinical repercussions, dentoalveolar trauma may be associated with
legal proceedings, instituted in various areas of law (civil, criminal, security, etc), this paper shows, on the
basis of a clinical case, the importance of dental records and the professional liability of the dentist treating
a patient suffering from orofacial trauma. The practitioner must therefore take care to record in detail all
information obtained from the clinical treatments performed, duly filing the patient’s record and all other
documents resulting from clinical practice with a view to safeguarding his or her professional conduct and
the particular rights of the patient.
