Caution

As a result of its investigation of a formal complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Rolando Estrabillo as follows:

•    In this case, Dr. Estrabillo’s statement in a newspaper article about Health Canada’s position on dental amalgam use in children was false, inaccurate and misleading and did not correctly reflect Health Canada’s statement. The member is cautioned to ensure that any quotes used in an effort to support his views must be accurate. The member is cautioned that what he perceives as a small change in wording can have a significant impact on meaning and therefore he must be mindful of this when summarizing a position rather than using a specific exact quote.

•    Overall, the member’s advertisement was confusing and misleading to the public and suggested superiority over other dental practices. The member is cautioned that his advertisements should comply with the advertising regulations in order that the public is not misinformed.

•    The panel cautions the member that it is very concerned about his history of similar conduct and his failure to continue to apply lessons learned through the previous remedial action with respect to advertising. The panel cautions the member that in the future, if concerns about his advertising are again brought to the College’s attention, another panel may take more significant action beyond a caution.

Caution

Current Status:

Completed

As a result of a complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Rolando Pineda Estrabillo as follows:

• Your treatment of the patient in this matter failed to meet the expected standard of the profession. Your treatment planning and sequencing were inappropriate, and demonstrated poor professional judgment and clinical knowledge.

• An occlusal equilibration procedure is an irreversible, invasive procedure. Before performing treatment of this nature, it is incumbent upon you as dental professional to fully consider conservative treatment approaches.

• You failed to provide adequate follow-up for this patient. It was not appropriate to cancel the patient’s appointment, and refer her to another practitioner, particularly given that she was experiencing pain. In order to ensure continuity of care, any referral to another practitioner should have been accompanied by a letter explaining the treatment-to-date.

• Your response to the College did not demonstrate any insight or reflection into this matter, and it was confusing to the panel. You must ensure that your responses to College complaints are clear.

• It is expected that you will learn from this experience and the course in Prosthodontics, such that your practice will be remedied.

Caution

Current Status:

Completed

As a result of a complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Rolando Pineda Estrabillo as follows:

• In this instance, Dr. Estrabillo recommended the extraction of the patient’s tooth 16 and replacement with an implant. This approach involved the permanent and irreversible extraction of the tooth, when root canal therapy was a viable option. The panel cautions Dr. Estrabillo that if he is recommending an option involving permanent and irreversible extraction when another option is available, that must be made clear to the patient, and the patient’s informed consent must be obtained in that context.
• The implant that Dr. Estrabillo placed for this patient at tooth 16 failed. This implant was too short. The subsequent implant that Dr. Estrabillo placed at the same site also failed. In both cases, Dr. Estrabillo did not adequately prepare the implant site in terms of sufficiency of bone. The panel cautions Dr. Estrabillo to ensure that these shortcomings in his implant treatment do not occur in future. In particular, he should involve a specialist in the patient’s care whenever there is any doubt as to his ability to successfully manage an implant treatment case.
• The core issue for the panel in this instance was that Dr. Estrabillo did not appropriately exercise his professional judgment in that he did not recognize, in a timely manner, the limitations of his work, and did not take the prudent step of offering the patient a referral to a specialist. Instead, he performed multiple procedures on the patient in an effort to repair the implant site and create more bone height. These procedures were physically uncomfortable and stressful for the patient, and were ultimately unsuccessful. As noted above, the panel cautions Dr. Estrabillo to involve a specialist in the patient’s care whenever there is any doubt as to his ability to successfully manage an implant treatment case.
• Dr. Estrabillo placed splinted crowns for this patient without the patient’s consent and contrary to their discussion in which she specifically consented to separate crowns. The panel cautions Dr. Estrabillo that his conduct did not meet the standards of the profession in that he did not obtain the patient’s informed consent for treatment, and the panel cautions him to ensure that this conduct is not repeated in future.
