The legal responsibility of the physicians has been discussed largely in the field of health law. Yet, the legal responsibilities of the dentists as well as physicians are important in terms of medical interventions. The legal responsibility of the dentists working in the public sector is subject to public law. The patient suffering as a result of a medical intervention realized by a dentist working in the public hospitals files a lawsuit against the state. However, the patients suffering as a result of a deedrealized by a dentist performing her/his profession in the private clinic willbe able to resort to the dentists according to the provisions of private law.The patient can file a lawsuit based on the provisions of pre-contractualliability, contract, tortious act and negotiorum gestio within the frameworkof liability law of private law. If it is decided that the dentist has a legalresponsibility, the patient is entitled to pecuniary and non-pecuniarycompensations. The lawsuits are filed against the dentist who realizes themedical intervention.
