What kind of medical accidents may happen in dentistry?

In short, there will be pain between appointments during root canal treatment or swelling after tooth extraction, which is a complication. Complications are unexpected but expected reactions caused by medical operations, such as side effects of drugs. Taking anesthesia as an example, serious complications, such as local anesthetic allergy or suffocation, belong to anesthesia accidents and complications rather than medical accidents. Adverse events refer to unexpected behaviors in medical behaviors, which are not complications but not medical accidents. For example, when filling teeth, the instrument accidentally cuts the tongue, or the root canal irrigation fluid leaks from the burned mucosa, which are all adverse events. Adverse events may lead to medical malpractice, but they are still not the same as medical malpractice. Finally, medical malpractice. Simply put, it is the patient's personal injury caused by the doctor's subjective fault. This definition is very strict and must be appraised by a specialized agency. For example, doctors accidentally play with mobile phones, which leads to the wrong blood type and leads to the death of patients. This is a medical accident. But as long as the patient dies or has adverse consequences, it is a medical accident. There are two kinds of the most serious medical accidents in stomatology, one is the wrong extraction of healthy permanent teeth, and the other is that the fiberoptic bronchoscope needs to be taken out because the instrument falls off and is inhaled by mistake (not counting swallowing by mistake) during the treatment. Both are four-level medical accidents. The definition here is very strict. If something goes wrong, it must be a healthy permanent tooth. As for the second accident, it must be handled by fiberoptic bronchoscope. If it is only swallowed by mistake or coughed up after aspiration, it is not a medical accident.
