- Abstract
This article, titled "The Evolution of Medical Negligence: A Comprehensive Analysis for Dental Professionals," discusses a landmark case in Indian law that established the duties a doctor owes to their patient. The case involved a patient who died due to complications after receiving treatment for a fracture. The plaintiff alleged negligence on the part of the doctor, and the Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the plaintiff, affirming that the doctor was guilty of negligence and liable for damages. The article also highlights the implications of the case for dental professionals, emphasizing the importance of duty of care, informed consent, documentation, and emergency protocols. It provides insights into the legal and ethical duties of dental practitioners and the need to maintain a high standard of care. The article also briefly discusses the historical context of medical negligence, dating back to ancient civilizations such as Babylon, Israel, Egypt, and Rome, where methods to address medical malpractice were established.
