§ Mr. MaloneMany products used by dentists will, given their nature, be subject to specific consumer safety requirements designed to ensure that products on the market are safe and are accompanied by adequate information.

Within this legal framework, dentists use their clinical judgment in determining appropriate treatment for their patients.
