Admor, in association with Dental Protection, has developed a range of treatment consent protocols designed to help dentists and patients establish consent before treatment commences. The treatment pads contain 50 sets of five collated pages for each new patient. They allow the patient to make a decision on the basis of reasonable information, using language that the patient will understand and providing opportunities to ask questions.

Periodontal treatment pads offer a two-part set (patient and dentist copies) that comprehensively records details of consultations. The record details costs, which teeth require treatment and alternative treatments, and require a patient signature to ensure the information has been understood. The patient consultation copy has a general information sheet on the reverse offering guidance on the treatment and explaining common queries. Each set also contains general instructions to dentists to ensure that consent is gained in the correct manner, as well as ensuring correct completion of the protocol.
