Abstract

This paper analyzes legal disputes and liability issues related to dental care within correctional institutions. It examines the scope of dental services that must be provided to inmates and the legal responsibilities of dental professionals. The study includes a comparative analysis of the Korean Correctional Dental Triage Categories to propose recommendations for improving inmate welfare and reducing legal conflicts.
