Decision analysis has wide application across disciplines. The purpose of engaging in formal analysis is to enhance the understanding and description of problems, aiding the decision maker to be more explicit and more comprehensive in the search for a preferred course of action. Legal considerations arise out of clinical decisions. The legal implications are illustrated with actual applicable issues arising out of current dental litigations.
