Consent Form

1. Initial appointment for

2. Changes in Treatment Plan

I understand that during treatment, it may be necessary to change or add procedures due to condition found while working on the teeth that were not discovered during examination, the most common being root canal therapy following routine restorative procedures. I give my permission to the Dentist to make any/all changes and additions as necessary.

3. Drugs and Medications

I understand that antibiotics, anesthetics, analgesics and other medications can cause allergic reaction causing redness, swelling of tissues, pain, itching, vomiting, and/or anaphylactic shock (severe allergic reaction) or interact with other medication taken. Injection might cause temporary or permanent parasthesia, numbness or loss of the taste.

I understand that occasionally upon injection of local anesthetic I might have temporary or permanent parasthesia, numbness, irritation or loss of the taste.

I understand that medications, drugs and anesthetics may cause drowsiness and lack of coordination increased by the use of alcohol or other drugs. I have been advised not to consume alcohol, nor operate any vehicle or hazardous devise while taking medication and/or drugs, or until fully recovered from their effects at least twenty-four hours after treatment.

4. Hygiene and Periodontal loss (Tissue and Bone)

I understand that I have a serious and progressive disease that can lead to acute infection, pain and tooth loss. Treatment can include cleanings (scaling), deep cleaning (root planning) and periodontal surgery(by referral to a specialist). Teeth that do not respond favorably to treatment will require extraction.

I understand that post-therapy, my teeth may be sensitive to cold sweets.

I understand that the long term success of treatment and status of my oral condition depends on my efforts at proper oral hygiene (i.e. brushing and flossing) and maintaining regular recall visits, therefore the results can not be guaranteed.

5. Endodontic Treatment (Root Canal)

I realize there is no guarantee that root canal therapy will save my tooth, complications ( i.e. calcified canals, inaccessible canals, perforation and loss of the canal during treatment, instrument separation inside of the canal and/or fracture of the tooth, crown, body or root) can occur. I further realize that occasionally root canal filling material may extend through the root or it may not be possible to completely fill the root. Other complications can include a reaction to a medication used, pain, swelling, continued infection and sensitivity to pressure even after treatment is completed. Risk of temporary or permanent numbness in treatment area.

If “open and medicine” or pulpotomy procedure is performed, I understand this is not a permanent treatment, and I need to pay for, and finish root canal therapy. If root canal treatment is not finalized, I expose my self to infection and/ or tooth loss.

If failure of root canal therapy occurs, the treatment may have to be redone, root-end surgery may be required by a specialist, or the tooth might be extracted. I understand that the tooth might be lost in spite of all the efforts to save it. Failure to restore the tooth after root-canal treatment (i.e. crown) could lead to decay, infection and premature loss of the tooth.

6. Crowns, Bridges, Inlays, Onlays and Veneers

I understand sometimes it is not possible to match the color of natural teeth exactly with artificial teeth. I further understand I may be wearing temporary crowns, which may come off easily, and I must be careful to ensure that they are kept on until the permanent crowns are delivered. I realize the final opportunity to make changes in my new crown, bridge, or cap (including shape, fit, size, and color) will be before cementation. I understand if I do not return for my scheduled appointment for delivery of my crown or bridge within 20 days from time of preparation it may not fit properly, and I will be responsible for any lab fees incurred, if a remake becomes necessary.

I understand that crowns and bridges need periodic and proper oral hygiene and cleaning, otherwise decay may develop underneath or around the margins of the restoration, leading to further dental treatment.

I realize that permanent crowns are fabricated from materials that can be susceptible to fracture. sensitivity to heat, cold or pressure which will require root-canal treatment. The new crown may alter the way you bite fits together and make your jaw joint feel sore which may require adjusting the bite.

7. Implants

I understand that implants have two main parts: an abutment (root form) and restoration (suprastructure) portion. Poor healing or infection at the surgical site can lead to acute infection, pain and loss of the abutment and/or adjacent teeth. The restorative portion also may come lose or fracture requiring replacing screws or collars, recementation and/or complete loss of the suprastructure. Replacement of the abutment or suprastructure are additional procedures, the cost of which is my responsibility. I understand that smoking greatly increases the risk of abutment failure.

8. Dentures, Partials

I realize full or partial dentures are artificial, constructed of plastic, metal, and/or porcelain. The problems of wearing these appliances have been explained to me, including looseness, soreness, and possible breakage. I realize the final opportunity to make changes in my new denture (including shape, fit, size, placement, and color) will be the “teeth in wax”-”try-in”visit. I understand most dentures require relining approximately three to six months after initial placement and yearly thereafter. The cost for these relines is not included in the initial denture fee.

Following-up appointments are integral part of maintenance and success of prosthetic appliance. Persistent sore spots should be immediately examined by a doctor. I further understand that surgical interventions i.e. tori (bone) removal, bone re-contouring or implants may be need for dentures to be properly fitted. I understand that due to bone loss or other complicating factor, I may never be able to wear dentures to my satisfaction.

Stayplates: I understand that stayplates are least expensive way of replacing missing teeth with a removable appliances. I understand that these appliances are made of acrylic and are bulkier in size and more fragile and prone to fracture. I understand that cast partial dentures or valplasts are better alternative to stayplastes in regards to durability, comfort, esthetic allergic reaction. Immediate denture (placement of denture immediately after extraction) are painful and will require frequent adjusting, redness, while the tissue is healing.

9. Fillings

I have been advised of the need for filling to replace tooth structure lost to decay. I understand that with time, filling will need to be replaced due to wear of the material. In cases where very little tooth structure remains, or existing tooth fractures off, I may need to receive more extensive treatment such as root canal therapy, post and build-up and crowns, the cost of which is my responsibility.

10. Removal of teeth

Alternatives to removal have been explained to me (rot canal therapy, crowns, periodontal surgery, etc.), and authorize the Dentist to remove the recommended teeth # and any others necessary due to a change in treatment plan. I understand removing teeth does not always remove all of the infection, and it may he necessary to have further treatment. I understand the risks involved in having teeth, removed, some of which are pain, swelling, spread of infection, dry socket, fractured jaw, or loss of feeling (temporary or permanently). I understand I may need further treatment by specialist or even hospitalization if complications arise during or following treatment, the cost of which is my responsibility. Potential risks include, but are not limited to the following:

  1. Post-operative discomfort; swelling; prolonged bleeding; tooth sensitivity to hot or cold; gum shrinkage (possible exposing crown margins); tooth looseness; delayed healing (dry socket) and/or infection (requiring prescriptions or additional treatment, i.e. surgery).
  2. Injury to adjacent teeth, caps or fillings (requiring the recementation of crowns, replacement of fillings, fabrication of crowns or extraction) or injury to other tissues not within the described surgical area.
  3. limitation of opening; stiffness of facial and/or neck muscles; change in bite; or temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) difficulty (possibly requiring physical therapy or surgery).
  4. Remaining residual root fragments or bone spicules which will require another surgery.
  5. Possible bone fracture which may require wiring or surgical treatment.
  6. Opening of the sinus (a normal cavity situated above the upper teeth) requiring additional surgery.
  7. Injury to the nerve underlying the teeth resulting in itching, numbness or burning of the lip, chin, gums, cheek, teeth and/or tongue on the operated side; this may persist for several weeks, months or in remote instances, permanently.

I understand that dentistry is not an exact science and therefore, practitioners cannot guarantee results. I acknowledge that no guarantee or assurance has been made by Dr. Edik Haghverdian regarding dental treatment, which I have requested and authorized. I understand that no guarantee or assurance has been given that the proposed treatment will be curative and/or successful to my complete satisfaction. I agree to cooperate completely with the recommendations of the doctor for optimum result, risks, benefits and alternative treatment (including doing nothing) has been explained to me. I have my satisfaction. I have no unanswered questions about treatment benefit/ risks, or alternative treatment(s) and their benefits/risks. I have read, understand and agreed to it.
