The article presents the results of the analysis of judicial practice for five years (2013-2017) in civil cases related to defects of dental care. Studies have shown that the most common reasons for patients to go to court are claims to orthopedic dentists (in 42% of cases) and dental therapists (in 31% of cases). The specialty of the doctor is not of decisive importance for the occurrence of judicial risks, due to the fact that the quality of complex dental care is most often assessed (in 45% of cases). The largest amounts of payments, exceeding 92 times the cost of treatment, are determined by dentists-surgeons. The study substantiates the need to develop new assessments at the stages of treatment, criteria for assessing the achieved results of treatment and the development of the practice of insurance of professional responsibility of dentists.
