The law of the land assumes that a dentist will always use credible skill, care, and caution in the care of patients. Failing to do something that one is supposed to do (act of omission) or doing something that one is not supposed to do (act of commission) falls under the purview of medical jurisprudence. Each patient is legally entitled to get quality medical care from a physician; failure to such trust is an actionable offense and grievances can be challenged in consumer redressal forums. This analytical study was aimed to study the reasons for dental negligence cases that sought judicial assistance in consumer courts in terms of monetary benefits and also to study the delay in settlements.
