A jury decided a dentist was not negligent in his treatment of a woman who claimed implant failures and poorly fitted dentures resulted in pain.

Mery Hernandez, then 52, underwent treatment in Miami with Dr. Antonio Otero, who installed three dental implants in her lower jaw and dentures in her upper mouth. The implants failed and broke. Hernandez claimed neither Otero nor a colleague gave her valid informed consent. She claimed the dentures were negligently made by Otero.
