Risk Matters – Changes to the Oral and Dental Therapeutic Guidelines – Version 4
In this episode of RiskMatters, senior dentolegal consultant at Dental Protection Dr Annalene Weston speaks with Adjunct Associate Professor Geraldine Moses about the recently updated – Therapeutic Guidelines - Oral and Dental version 4, released in September 2025.
During their discussion Dr Moses highlights a number of important changes made to many sections of the guidance, including but not limited to prescribing rights, regulations, responsibilities and competencies, administration of Analgesia, Antibiotics and Anaesthetics as well guidance around management of patients with medical conditions and special needs.
It goes without saying that it is critical that all practitioners are familiar with these changes and can apply them to their practice moving forward.
