Obtaining written informed consent for the administration of local anesthetic in dentistry.
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to examine the frequency with which dentists obtain written informed consent for the administration of local anesthetic in dentistry. METHODS: The authors administered an informal survey to 252 dentists. RESULTS: Most respondents who practiced a dental specialty or limited their practice to anesthesiology for dentistry obtained written informed consent for the administration of local anesthetic. Most general practitioners did not. CONCLUSIONS: Written informed consent appears to be obtained more often by dental specialists and dentists limiting their practices to anesthesiology for dentistry than by general practitioners. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: All dentists may want to consider obtaining written informed consent for the administration of local anesthetic.
