Personal Injury Case Reports - Dental Malpractice

Dental Malpractice - Ill-Fitting Crown Resulting in TMJ; $100,000.00

The plaintiff, a 37-year-old legal secretary, underwent the installation of a permanent crown under the care of the defendant dentist. Upon installation of the permanent crown, the plaintiff complained to the defendant that the crown felt too large and that it was uncomfortable. The defendant dismissed the plaintiff's complaints and proceeded to install the crown With permanent cement. Over the course of the next two months, the plaintiff returned to the defendant six times for "occlusal adjustments," which involved the grinding of opposing teeth to better accommodate the ill-fitting crown. The plaintiff went on to suffer a severe case of TMJ syndrome, which her subsequent treating dentists related to the ill-fitting crown. The case, which was assumed by Parker | Scheer after the plaintiff's previous dental malpractice lawyer had given up on the case. The case was settled after a one-day mediation and one week prior to trial.
