Safety Management Steps Taken by Insured to Make Similar Occurrence Less Likely | |||||||||||||||||||||
For every surgical case informed consent is signed by the patient after thoroughly discussing and documenting the risks and potential negative sequelae of having the procedure. Current two dimensional digital x-rays are taken; measurement pre (in software on digital xrays) and post extraction (tooth root in hand measured with a ruler) will continue to be the reference in choosing a dental implant to replace a failed tooth. If a failing maxillary tooth approaches 8 mm in length or less, referral to an Oral surgeon to perform a sinus lift and augmentation procedure will be the steadfast rule. |
