This unit follows a series of video recordings featuring Prothodontist Dr Jeff Cox and examines scenarios where practitioners chose the right or wrong treatments for the right or wrong tooth.
Our expert presenter will canvass some interesting case studies and look at a number of common scenarios such as:

Some important Golden Rules will appear including
- Informed consent with appropriate warnings/risks is an integral legal and ethical obligation for dental practitioners
- Develop a standard routine procedure/the right habits, so that this becomes second nature in your practice
- Detailed notes covering your informed consent will assist in defending a complaint/claim or investigation
