RESUMO
Although there have been no cases in which a court has been concerned with the malpractice of a military dentist, there have been cases involving military physicians. The principles of law that have been applied to these physicians also apply to military dentists. Laws have been passed to resolve the problems of malpractice liability of military dentists, and these, as well as court decisions, are reviewed.
