High Court hears claim that dental procedure went on for more than five hours

A dentist has had conditions attached by the High Court to his registration over professional misconduct in persisting for an excessive time in trying to fit a patient with a denture.

The patient alleged the procedure went on for more than five hours but Dr Liam O’Droma disputed it lasted that long. A Fitness to Practice inquiry concluded it lasted an “excessively long period” of time.
