According to some people, the renewed Dutch civil disciplinary law is not fulfilling the expectations. Some procedures seem to be redundant for accused dentists. Besides the civil disciplinary law, also the professional disciplinary law of the Dutch Dental Association is questionable. The Association is planning to change the current professional disciplinary law. However, the proposed amendments may have the consequence that a Dutch dentist more frequently will be faced with a civil disciplinary law procedure or a normal civil law procedure.
