Historical Article

Informed consent--the doctrine evolves



WM Morganstein

The physician or the dentist must obtain the informed consent of the patient to perform treatment. The consent obtained should be based on disclosure of those risks sufficiently serious and likely to occur in the contemplated procedure, which, as a reasonable physician or dentist, the practitioner should realize and the patient does not, but which the patient needs to realize to determine whether or not to consent to the procedure.
