Dr. Nguyen did not accurately assess a patient’s level of risk resulting in a poor outcome in June 2022, according to a Sept. 10 news release.
The commission originally suspended Dr. Nguyen’s permit in November 2023 following the death of a patient in July 2022, when Dr. Nguyen did not provide enough medication to reverse the effects of sedatives used during the procedure.
Before he can petition for reinstatement, Dr. Nguyen must submit a 10,000-word report on risk assessments for patients with comorbidities, medical consultation and safe sedation, as well as pass a jurisprudence exam.
In addition, Dr. Nguyen must successfully complete an ethics exam, attend two annual sessions of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology and pass at least one SIM MAN course, the release said.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
