Introduction
A dental record is the detailed document of the history of the
illness, physical examination, diagnosis, treatment, and
management of a patient. Dental professionals are complelled by
law to produce and maintain adequate patient records. With the
increasing awareness among the general public of legal issues
surrounding healthcare, and with the worrying rise in malpractice
cases, a thorough knowledge of dental record issues is essential
for any practitioner. The ability of clinical practitioners to produce
and maintain accurate dental record is esential for good quality
patient care as well as it being a legal obligation. The dental
record provides for the continuity of care for the patient and is
critical in event of a malpractice insurance claim.
A fully integrated patient record and care model for both systemic
health(medical) and oral health(dental) is needed for health
information technology(HIT) standards, implementation and
interoperability to avoid discrepancies between records and to
support quality of care, safety, and cost reduction initiatives.
