Abstract
The practice of professional dentistry is currently governed by laws that can condition and dictate the consequences of clinical procedures. The Spanish courts apply a doctrine that treats dentistry according to the treatment carried out on the patient, using two types of contract: the first involves an obligation based on results and the second an obligation based on resources. Both types of contract have been applied in Spanish courts to assess the legitimacy of litigation against dental procedures carried out. This study examines the rulings handed down by the Spanish courts over the post ten years relating to endodontics, looking at how the doctrine derived from those rulings might be applied by dentists to the everyday practice of endodontics.
