Abstract

This research investigates the legal certainty of informed consent for high-risk tooth extraction within the framework of Indonesian health law. Informed consent is a vital component of medical practice, safeguarding patients' right to clear and adequate information before procedures and protecting practitioners from malpractice allegations. Particularly in emergency extractions, the legal certainty of informed consent is critical for patient rights and legal protection for dentists. A study at a private dental practice in North Sumatra observed patients often underestimate informed consent's significance. Findings indicate dentists can mitigate malpractice claims if they provide explanations consistent with Ministerial Regulation No. 290/20kes/Per/III/2008 Article 7 and obtain signed consent. Nevertheless, the regulation lacks detailed provisions on timing, potentially weakening legal evidence during disputes. The study recommends updating this regulation to bolster legal certainty in medical practice, especially for high-risk dental procedures in private settings.
