The GDC tribunal decided that Mr Waqas Sikander, a dentist, should practise under conditions for 12 months. The Professional Conduct Committee found that his fitness to practise was impaired by misconduct. It found proved failings in radiographic reporting and record keeping across a number of patients, treatment started on the wrong tooth, and a crown fitted without offering root canal treatment first. Allegations of dishonesty were not proved, and deficient professional performance was not made out. The Committee found genuine contrition and targeted retraining, but said his insight was still developing. The order takes effect immediately and will be reviewed.
