Abstract

This paper proposes to study the Civil Liability of the Dental Surgeon, due to aesthetic procedures in Brazil. Dentistry is a fundamental profession for society, known mainly for being destined to oral health. However, the work of the dental surgeon has long ceased to be focused exclusively on dental aspects and the aesthetic procedures that can be performed by the professional are expanding more and more. Thus, it is intended to clarify the main factors that can give rise to the responsability of the dentist as a result of aesthetic procedures, through the analysis of the impact of the Consumer Defense Code on these professionals, of objetive good faith in professional-patient relationships, in addition to the investigating the hypotheses of civil liability exclusions applicable to dentists and the measures they can take in order to prevent legal disputes.
