§30-4A-9. Reporting of Death, Serious Complications or Injury.
If a death, any serious complication or any injury occurs which may have resulted from the administration of general anesthesia/deep conscious sedation, conscious sedation, anxiolysis, or relative analgesia, the licensee performing the dental procedure must submit a written detailed report to the Board within five days of the incident along with copies of the patient's original complete dental records.

The detailed report(s) must include:

(1) Name, age and address of patient;

(2) Name of the licensee and other persons present during the incident;

(3) Address where the incident took place;

(4) Type of anesthesia and dosages of drugs administered to the patient;

(5) A narrative description of the incident including approximate times and evolution of symptoms; and

(6) The anesthesia record and the signed informed consent form for the anesthesia when required.
