Educational and clinical disclaimer

Education, not clinical direction

All content — lessons, guides, rubrics, case reviews, answers to questions, and everything on this website — is provided for professional education only. It is not dental or medical advice, not a diagnosis, not a treatment plan and not a substitute for your own clinical judgement, your own examination of your patient, or the standards of your regulator.

No dentist-patient relationship, and no supervisory or employment relationship, is created between Dr. Merino or the Academy and you, your practice or your patients.

Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for every clinical decision you take, for confirming that a technique is permitted and appropriate in your jurisdiction and within your scope of practice, for the materials and equipment you choose, and for obtaining your patients’ informed consent.

Techniques must be adapted to each case. Following the programme does not guarantee any clinical result, and materials behave differently between brands, batches, patients and hands.

Materials, brands and third parties

Any product, brand, instrument or software mentioned is referred to for teaching purposes. We are not sponsored by, affiliated with or endorsed by those manufacturers unless we state it explicitly, we receive no payment for mentioning them, and we are not responsible for their products. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.

Names of institutions, teachers and colleagues appear as a record of Dr. Merino’s own training and professional history. They do not imply that those institutions or individuals endorse, accredit or are associated with this programme.

Results and testimonials

Clinical photographs are individual cases performed by Dr. Jaqueline Amadeu Merino and published with the patients’ written authorisation. Testimonials describe individual experiences of her teaching. Neither is a guarantee or prediction of any result for you or your patients, and nothing on this site is a promise of income or professional advancement.

Certification

Certificates issued by the Academy attest participation in a continuing-education programme. They carry no CE, CPD or CERP credits, are not accredited by any board, council or university, and confer no specialisation, licence, title or right to practise.
