Caution

As a result of a complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Brian John Clarke as follows:
• As an orthodontic specialist, you are held to a higher standard when providing treatment within your specialty. You are cautioned to ensure that as part of your orthodontic work-up you gather all necessary records to ensure that you can formulate the appropriate treatment plan. These records could include, but are not limited to: findings from an intraoral and extra-oral exam, study models, bite and facial measurements, a panoramic x-ray, radiographs, photographs, and a lateral cephalometric radiograph with tracings and measurements.
• As described in the College’s practice advisory, Maintaining a professional patient-dentist relationship, dentists have an obligation to manage patient expectations. They should discuss possible outcomes, not just ideal outcomes, encourage patients to raise concerns and be prepared to respond to and address concerns. These discussions must be documented in the patient record. The Dentist is cautioned that building and maintaining a successful patient-dentist relationship takes time, commitment and clear communication and is critical to the success of the patient’s oral health.
• As stated in the College’s guideline, Dental Recordkeeping, “Dentists have professional, legal and ethical responsibilities to maintain a complete record of each patient’s dental care.” The Dentist is cautioned that he should ensure that his records are an accurate reflection of the treatment provided which includes: discussions he has with the patient/parent about treatment concerns or questions, changes to the treatment plan including treatment timeline, transfer of care to another orthodontist and patient cooperation. In addition, the Dentist should ensure that all forms used as part of his records are appropriately signed and dated. Further, the Dentist is cautioned that he should carefully review the College’s guidance documents related to dental recordkeeping to ensure that he is compliant with the College’s requirements.
