Patient Safety and Risk Management in Dental Practice: Are There Enough Guidelines? An
Evaluative Study on The Existing System in a Dental College of Riyadh
Introduction
While it is essential to the practice of healthcare professionals to concern about patient
safety, it is relatively current that it has been transformed into a specific body of knowledge and
therefore patient safety may be considered as a relatively ‘innovative’ discipline. Its core ideas
are to prevent the occurrence of avoidable adverse events (errors, complications and accidents)
accompanying the practice of healthcare and to reduce the impact of unavoidable adverse events.
This is a simple definition for the multifaceted, complexed nature and many key elements in the
practice of patient safety. There are economic, financial, social, cultural and organizational
matters of a patient safety environment that makes it unpractical to simply define it as the
practicing safe health care or protecting patients from harm by health care professionals. It is
essential for all health care professionals and health care organizations to become more
acquainted with the overall framework of patient safety, to dynamically contribute in hard work
to apply patient safety procedures in everyday practice and to create a culture of patient safety
culture (Yamalik & Perea Pérez, 2012).
There is a constant concern and interest in dentistry for matters related to patients and
practicing safe and quality care in the everyday dental practice. Yet, like other health
professions, more attention is given to patient related matters and safety-related matters
(Yamalik & Dijk, 2013).
Furthermore, there is an emerging professional consideration of risk management, patient
safety and handling errors. Rather than hiding them, errors are now understood as learning
material and by that, the number of publications on dental errors are increasing. As an example,

prescribing errors in dental practice is a potential ground for development in the medication
management process and patient safety (Yamalik & Dijk, 2013).
An empirical data on the attitudes of dental professionals and dental auxiliaries about the
reporting of medical errors was collected in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia by Al-Nomay et al., (2017),
most respondents (94.4% of them) expressed that medical errors should be reported. Yet, insights
of the norm, personal preferences and existing practices regarding which type of error should be
reported were inconsistent. Only 17.9% of respondents perceived that reporting errors that results

Introduction
While it is essential to the practice of healthcare professionals
to concern about patient
safety, it is relatively current that it has been transformed into a
specific body of knowledge and
therefore patient safety may be considered as a relatively
‘innovative’ discipline. Its core ideas
are to prevent the occurrence of avoidable adverse events
(errors, complications and accidents)
accompanying the practice of healthcare and to reduce the
impact of unavoidable adverse events.
This is a simple definition for the multifaceted, complexed
nature and many key elements in the
2. practice of patient safety. There are economic, financial, social,
cultural and organizational
matters of a patient safety environment that makes it unpractical
to simply define it as the
practicing safe health care or protecting patients from harm by
health care professionals. It is
essential for all health care professionals and health care
organizations to become more
acquainted with the overall framework of patient safety, to
dynamically contribute in hard work
to apply patient safety procedures in everyday practice and to
create a culture of patient safety
culture (Yamalik & Perea Pérez, 2012).
There is a constant concern and interest in dentistry for matters
related to patients and
practicing safe and quality care in the everyday dental practice.
Yet, like other health
professions, more attention is given to patient related matters
and safety-related matters
(Yamalik & Dijk, 2013).

safety and handling errors. Rather than hiding them, errors are

prescribing errors in dental practice is a potential ground for
development in the medication
management process and patient safety (Yamalik & Dijk, 2013).
An empirical data on the attitudes of dental professionals and
dental auxiliaries about the
reporting of medical errors was collected in Riyadh, Saudi
Arabia by Al-Nomay et al., (2017),
most respondents (94.4% of them) expressed that medical errors
should be reported. Yet, insights
of the norm, personal preferences and existing practices
regarding which type of error should be
reported were inconsistent. Only 17.9% of respondents
perceived that reporting errors that results
in major harm is the present practice. More than 68% of the
participants disclosed a personal
4. belief, a perception of the norm and a present practice that
errors must be reported by the erring
dentist. Respondents at government establishments were more
likely to report errors than those at
private establishments (Al-Nomay et al., 2017).
The Problem
Dentists are now practicing more surgical procedures in their
dental setting, the
possibility of experiencing litigation from malpractice has
significantly increased. Having good
skills and techniques are not sufficient enough; dental
professionals must dynamically and
thoroughly adhere to strategies of reducing risk to support the
minimizing or eliminating harm
and lawsuits. The dentist can avoid possible harm and lawsuits
by devoting better attention to
detail, by adhering to good practice, and managing patients’
expectations and outcomes in an
improved matter (Dym, 2012).
Dental professionals are at risk of being exposed to severe
implications on health from
occupational exposure to infections. It has been previously
acknowledged in several areas and
5. researches the matters of compliance with risk management
procedures, the effects of which can
be reduced by technical developments, employment of
guidelines in best practice and by

regularly emphasizing policies of infection control locally with
training and awareness
campaigns (Westall & Dickinson, 2017).
A study done by Alhamad et al., (2015) in the Eastern Province
of Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia reporting the prevalence of medical emergencies in
dental clinics and self‑perceived
competence of dentists. Over 60% of the participants have
encountered medical emergencies at
least once. The most common medical emergency experienced
by the dentists is vasovagal
syncope by 53.1%, hypoglycemia 44.8% and foreign body
aspiration was reported by only 5.5%.
Over 74.3% of the respondents stated that they are supplied
with emergency kits in their clinics.
6. Around 33% of the dentists in the study were either lacking
confidence or lack the knowledge to
use emergency drugs (Alhamad et al., 2015).
Reducing the risk for medication error by improving dental
prescriptions quality and to
encourage the rational use of prescriptions, and patient safety.
One study reported that dental
extractions are shown to be related with a low but substantial
postoperative risk of sepsis,
particularly in senior patients and those with chronic systemic
diseases. In an investigation
regarding errors of radiographs with undergraduate students, it
was observed that 64.06% of the
images were acceptable, and 35.94% of the images were
unacceptable. Accordingly, it was
proposed that good training and knowledge of the distribution
of anatomical region and the types
of error can help prevent these errors and retaking of the
radiographic images. Reporting and
examining errors could significantly benefit in identifying the
core contributing factors (Yamalik
& Dijk, 2013).
Purpose of the Study
7. According to the mentioned literature, knowing and analyzing
the factors that cause
errors is critical in order to initiate changes which will prevent
the errors. It also critical to
Patient Safety and Risk Management in Dental Practice: Are
There Enough Guidelines? An
Evaluative Study on The Existing System in a Dental College of
Riyadh 4
understand that single errors or events are usually the outcome
of the convergence of several
contributing factors. For that, preventing errors necessitates a
systemic approach to change the
conditions that lead to these errors (Yamalik & Dijk, 2013).
Like all healthcare professionals, it is also expected from dental
professionals to have an
improved knowledge, awareness and concern when it comes to
patient safety and risk
management, and that it is practiced in the daily dental care
delivery. Though, patient safety is
more widely recognized in healthcare organizations all over the
world, numerous health
professionals still do not effectively practice it. Moreover,
8. healthcare students are not widely
taught regarding the practice of patient safety and risk
management (Yamalik & Dijk, 2013).
Significance of The Study
The aims of this study are:
1. To improve awareness of the significant risk of errors during
the delivery of dental care
among dental professionals.
2. To provide data on the working practices and clinical
environment of dental clinics and how
they prevent errors from happening in the first place,
3. To focus on the problems with compliance to risk
management procedures in dental clinics,
4. To recognize and recommend possible methods and practices
to prevent occupational errors,
5. To recommend future studies to investigate the compliance
with risk management system
between dental professionals by studying their perspective.
Research Question
To analyze the perspectives of dental professionals on the
current practices of risk
management and patient safety guidelines in order to prevent
9. dental practice errors from

happening. Evaluate the current guidelines applied in dental
facilities and assess its efficacy and
effectiveness in patient safety and risk management.
Methodology
The included population number in the government dental
college in Riyadh, Saudi
Arabia from faculty, clinicians, interns and fourth and fifth year
students are a total of 152. A
self‑administered questionnaire to110 randomly selected from
the included population to achieve
a confidence rate of 95% and a margin error of 5%. The
questionnaire is prepared and modified
under the supervision of an experienced faculty member.
The questionnaire has been pilot tested on a sample of 15
licensed dental professionals
practicing in government and private clinics in Riyadh to test
participants’ understanding of the
10. questions and prevent errors in its administration. The pilot
study was tested for validity using
Cronbach’s alpha validity test with a .9376 reliability score.
The study objectives will be
described prior to the questionnaire for the respondents to
comprehend and give an informed
consent. Licensed dental physicians, dental hygienist and dental
students in the fourth year and
above are included in this study. Dental students who have less
than a year of dental care
experience and dental assistants will be excluded from this
study.
The questionnaire will consist of six sections, first section will
cover questions on
demographics: The number of years in dental practice, dental
qualification and the field of
experience in dental practice (private, government or both), and
the academic qualifications of
the dental professional. The second sections will cover
questions on the participants general
knowledge in risk management and patient safety (Yamalik &
Dijk, 2013). Section three will list
errors associated with clinical documents, information and
referral of patients in the dental clinic,
11. questions will ask if there are risk management and patient
safety guidelines to prevent those

errors from happening. Section four will list pharmacological
prescribing errors, questions will
ask if there are risk management and patient safety guidelines to
prevent those errors from
happening and the source of the guidelines. Section five will
list errors from surgical events,
questions will ask if there are risk management and patient
safety guidelines to prevent those
errors from happening and the source of the guidelines. Section
six will list probable accidents
(random events, unpredicted and unanticipated injury or harm to
the patient) in dental practice,
questions will ask if there are risk management and patient
safety guidelines to prevent those
errors from happening and the source of the guidelines
(Yamalik & Perea Pérez, 2012).
12. Statistical Software Package SPSS will be used to perform
statistical analyses. Frequencies and
proportions of diverse responses will be measured for
categorical variables.
Results
Appropriate statistical methods and tests will be used for
analysis of the results.
Discussion
The results obtained will be discussed considering the available
local and international
studies and review.
Conclusion and Recommendations
The conclusion and recommendations will be derived from the
