The report discusses a case involving a dentist, Dr. Jamile da Silva Correia, who is suspected of causing the death of her patient, Luiz Carlos das Dores, after placing veneers on him. The body of Luiz Carlos is set to be exhumed to determine if there was negligence in the aesthetic procedure. The dentist's story revolves around a suspected death that she finds difficult to accept. She is under intense pressure and feels responsible for Luiz Carlos' death.
Luiz Carlos, a 57-year-old public employee, was placed with 24 veneers and porcelain in Dr. Jamile's office on June 10th. He died 69 days later in the ICU of a hospital due to a generalized dental infection. The dentist is accused of negligence in her procedures.
Dr. Jamile claims that she did not take the appropriate measures as a professional and is not obliged to agree with their personal opinion of each. She states that she was unaware of Luiz Carlos' bone loss and periodontal disease, as indicated in the x-ray report. She also claims that she did not prescribe antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication for Luiz Carlos, despite his reports of pain and discomfort.
The dentist's partner, Benedito, is criticized for not providing the correct service and not helping at the right time. The dentist is accused of interrupting the dream of Dr. Camila Malaquias, a professor in the area, who was called to assist Luiz Carlos in the ICU of the hospital where he was. The death certificate indicates cardiogenic shock due to sepsisemia, a generalized infection, viral pneumonia, acute renal failure, and hypothermia.
The report concludes with the announcement that the body of Luiz Carlos will be exhumed to determine the cause of death. The dentist is ready to face the results and is willing to make herself available to the authorities. She is accused of not killing Luiz Carlos but causing his death due to the placement of the veneers. She denies this claim, stating that facets do not kill but can generate infection. The report ends with the statement that the exhumation and investigations will clarify what happened and provide clarity for the dentist's conscience.
