Dental Malpractice
Thaddeus J. Rozanski
Defendant’s verdict in New York County on behalf of two dentists in a dental malpractice action. Plaintiff had a molar extracted and claimed the extraction caused a perforation into her sinus. The client defendants were alleged to have negligently repaired the perforation in a manner that caused a massive sinus and bone infection. Plaintiff underwent 3 surgical procedures and the symptoms never completely resolved. Defendants claimed the perforation was properly repaired, but that plaintiff’s failure to follow post-repair instructions caused a re-opening of the perforation. Defendants also claimed plaintiff had an underlying chronic sinus condition.
