Читать книгу A Dentist’s Guide to the Law - American Dental Association - Страница 3

In 2004 the American Dental Association Division of Legal Affairs thought that ADA members might find value in a publication that addressed various questions about a wide variety of legal issues that arise in their dental practices. So the lawyers in the Division collaborated on the authorship and publication of Frequently Asked Legal Questions: A Guide for Dentists and the Dental Team. They were pleased to find an extremely positive response. Members demonstrated a real interest in having written materials available to provide insight and background information on such legal issues. Because this interest continued, and because the law continues to evolve, the ADA published a second edition of Frequently Asked Legal Questions in 2010. We now present an updated version, A Dentist’s Guide to the Law: 228 Things Every Dentist Should Know. The ADA Division of Legal Affairs is thankful to the many ADA members who have supported this publication and who have contacted the ADA with questions about laws and regulations affecting dentistry. These members have provided the impetus for this book and the ideas for its content.

We are also grateful for the valuable assistance of Patrick Cannady, Manager, Dental Informatics; John Malone, Manager, Scientific and Technical Information; Pamela Porembski, D.D.S., Director, Council on Dental Practice; Carolyn Tatar, Senior Manager, Product Development and Sales; Kathryn Pulkrabek, Manager/Editor, Professional Products; Steve Gruninger, Assistant Director, Safety and Biocompatibility; Mary Griffin, Legal Coordinator; Denise Zanders, Legal Coordinator; and our legal interns over the years, with particular thanks to Misti Napier-Burton and Angelique Salib.
