This study aimed at proposing use of an Illustrated Free and Informed Consent Term (FICT), adapted to comply with the Consumer Defense Code and other relevant laws, in a fashion made simple to professionals and accessible to patients. In view of the fact that the burden of proof is on the professional in cases of legal disputes, it is the responsibility of these professionals to draft and file clinical records. The lawsuits involving treatments performed in clinics run by institutions offering undergraduate and graduate studies in dentistry reinforce the concern of professors regarding application of an illustrated FICT. Its academic implementation is intended to instruct and prepare students for their professional life, and also to protect dental professors responsible for monitoringpatients (AU).
