Quality of medical care

For failure to fulfill obligations to provide the insured with medical care of appropriate quality and guaranteed volume, financial sanctions are applied to medical organizations. Special control is subject to cases when complaints are received from the insured about the availability and quality of medical care in a medical organization, deaths, including maternal and infant mortality, complications of diseases, and nosocomial infections.

Cons of depulpation

Today it is known that unnecessarily depulpation can cause much more harm than good:

After depulpation, the tooth becomes fragile and decays much faster
During depulpation, the nerve may not be completely removed
The dental canal may not be properly cleaned or filled.
During treatment, gums may be injured

That is, a “dead” tooth will never be better than an ordinary healthy tooth that has not been opened. A crown can prolong its life for some time, but the risk of complications after depulpation and rapid tooth destruction is no less than if it were kept intact. That is why many professional dentists prefer to examine the tooth as thoroughly as possible and prepare it for prosthetics, but do not open it or remove the pulp.
