Warning(formally warned)· 1 year
The GDC tribunal decided that dentist Dan Doru Topala's fitness to practise was impaired by misconduct and issued him with a reprimand. The Professional Conduct Committee found proved, on his own admissions, that he did not discuss the risk of paraesthesia or take radiographs before placing an implant for Patient A in February 2021, did not obtain informed consent, placed the implant without adequate support, and did not urgently refer the patient when he reported persistent numbness. The reprimand stays on the register for 12 months.
