Abstract:

] Death is a rare but the most significant adverse event of dental treatment. Death related to dental treatment continues to occur annually as a result of patients, providers, and procedural factors. This article reviews the causes of death, risk factors, prevention, emergency management, and bereavement support related to dental treatment to reduce the incidence of adverse reactions in patients and improve the level of oral diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: stomatology, death, bereavement supports
