title: [Medico-legal certificates in dentistry-oral medicine].
abstract: Certificates are acts meant to note facts of medical order. They constitute the proof of the bodily damage in a file of repair request. Only a doctor in medicine can write such a paper. The disciplinary, penal and civilian responsibility is committed every time that the doctor agrees to write a medical certificate. The medical secret must be respected when writing such a medical certificate. The document must be handed the patient. The dentist can establish certificates of different nature when he is asked by his patients, since the noted facts are part of his expertise. The certificate must be written after exam of the patient. The description of the lesions must be precise and complete. Under pain of nothing, the medical certificate must include: the identity of the doctor, the patient's one, the date of writing and the signature of the editor. The ITT show on the medical certificate is of great importance because it determines jurisdictions related to voluntary and involuntary violence.
