Abstract
Vicarious liability is based on a relationship between the parties, irrespective of participation, either by act of omission, of the vicariously liable, under which it has been determined as a matter of policy that one person should be liable for the act of other. Its true basis is largely one of public or social policy under which it has been determined that, irrespective of fault, a party should be held to respond for the acts of another. Vicarious liability is an important concept in both risk management and patient management. Vicarious liability is justifiable act from which the patients will be benefited and saved by creating a higher level of responsibility on dentists even though his/her team members are working on patient.
