It is difficult to provide specific data on of legal claims against dentists on a case-by-case basis due to the data being highly fragmented and not usually accessible. However, we do have available data series, such as the one from the College of Dentistry and Stomatology of Region I, which includes all patient claims motivated by a dental care submitted to the College's Ethics Committee. We also have data series relating to court judgments due to health care claims that had been previously discussed on studies carried out by the School of Legal Medicine of Madrid.

Based on data derived therefrom, it is clear that the legal pressure of patients is increasing. This is how it is and how it will be in the future, perhaps even more sharply. We must therefore accept it and try to adopt measures that minimize this risk or limit its consequences, should they occur.

This is the main objective of the present study.
