Dental treatment can lead to disputes between patients and dentists, which are then brought before the civil courts as medical malpractice cases. The court regularly commissions a dental expert to answer questions of evidence in court. In the majority of cases, the expert is able to answer these questions based on his professional expertise and practical experience. In order to make the assessment comprehensible and credible for the judge and the parties, it can be helpful and reasonable to cite relevant literature references from dental textbooks and specialist journals. In individual cases, it may be necessary to carry out a systematic literature search on specific topics. Based on the situation in Germany, this narrative review makes recommendations of how to perform a literature search and make citations specifically for expert opinions that are generally applicable independent of national jurisdiction.
牙科治疗可能会引发患者与牙医之间的纠纷，随后这些纠纷会作为医疗事故案件提交至民事法庭。法院通常会委托一名牙科专家在法庭上回答证据相关问题。在大多数情况下，专家能够依据其专业知识和实践经验回答这些问题。为了使评估对于法官和各方而言易于理解且可信，引用牙科教科书和专业期刊中的相关文献参考可能会有所帮助且合理。在个别情况下，可能有必要针对特定主题进行系统的文献检索。基于德国的情况，本叙述性综述就如何进行文献检索以及如何专门针对专家意见进行引用提出建议，这些建议通常适用于不受国家司法管辖权限制的情况。
