Abstract

This study examines the legal protection for dentists in medical services, considering the increasing legal risks due to malpractice lawsuits. Dentists play a crucial role in the community's dental and oral health, but legal challenges such as patient complaints and ethical issues can threaten their professionalism. Adequate legal protection is needed so that dentists can practice safely and efficiently. Regulations such as the Medical Practice Law and the Health Law provide a legal framework that protects the rights of dentists while ensuring the quality of service for patients. This research method uses a normative legal approach with a literature study. This study aims to explain the regulations that protect dentists, their legal responsibilities, the challenges they face, and the role of the dispute resolution system. The results indicate the need for increased legal protection so that dentists can operate in a safe and professional environment, as well as recommendations for strengthening access to malpractice insurance and efficient dispute resolution.

Abstract

This study examines the legal role of informed consent in high-risk dental medical procedures under Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health. Informed consent represents not only an ethical obligation but also a legal mechanism ensuring patient autonomy and professional accountability. Using a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, this research analyzes how the new legal framework strengthens patient protection and defines the professional responsibilities of dental practitioners. The findings indicate that despite the law’s explicit provisions particularly Articles 293 and 294 implementation remains constrained by limited legal literacy, ineffective communication, and insufficient documentation among practitioners. From the ethical perspective, informed consent reflects respect for autonomy, while legally it serves as preventive protection against malpractice claims. Therefore, enhancing professional understanding, integrating bioethics and health law in education, and ensuring standardized consent documentation are essential to achieving transparent, fair, and patient-centered dental services in Indonesia.
