Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal regulation of informed consent in dental practice in Indonesia and examine its role in protecting patients’ rights. The research employs a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach, conducted through library research on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, as well as analysis of court decisions, particularly the Supreme Court Decision of the Republic of Indonesia Number 3203 K/Pdt/2017. The findings indicate that the regulation of informed consent in Indonesia has a strong legal foundation through the Medical Practice Act, Health Act, and Minister of Health Regulation on Medical Consent. However, in practice, the implementation of informed consent is often reduced to an administrative formality and does not fully reflect a substantive communication process. Furthermore, informed consent plays a crucial role as an instrument for protecting patients’ rights, particularly in ensuring autonomy, information transparency, and serving as legal evidence in medical disputes. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the understanding and implementation of informed consent comprehensively to achieve optimal legal protection for patients in dental practice.
