Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the growing trend of patient-led litigation in dentistry.
To identify crown and bridge work as a common area for dental legal cases.

Main Methods:

Analysis of trends in patient-led litigation cases.
Review of case types predominantly involving restorative dental procedures.

Main Results:

A significant increase in patient-led litigation cases has been observed.
Crown and bridge work constitutes the majority of these dental litigation cases.

Conclusions:

The rising litigation rates underscore the importance of predictable success in restorative dentistry.
Minimizing failure in crown and bridge procedures is essential for both patient care and risk management.
