Abstract

Wrong-site tooth extraction can be defined as the extraction of a tooth other than the one intended by the referring dentist. This adverse event continues to be one of the major reasons for filing malpractice claims against oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Most cases of wrong-site tooth extractions are preventable and can be minimized by the development of an educational program, an informative, unambiguous referral form, a pre-operative check list, and incorporation of the Universal Protocol for Preventing Wrong Site, Wrong Procedure, Wrong Person Surgery into daily clinical practice.

摘要

错牙拔除可定义为拔除的牙齿并非转诊牙医所指定的那颗牙齿。这一不良事件仍然是针对口腔颌面外科医生提起医疗事故索赔的主要原因之一。大多数错牙拔除病例是可以预防的，通过制定教育计划、一份信息丰富、明确无误的转诊表、一份术前检查表，并将《预防错误手术部位、错误手术程序、错误患者手术通用协议》纳入日常临床实践，可将其发生率降至最低。
