Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the trial court's dismissal, holding that the plaintiff's expert physician was qualified to testify about the dental standard of care and that the plaintiff need not prove a specific standard of care because the manufacturer’s brochure and the doctrine of common knowledge were sufficient to avoid dismissal. The court also found the brochure admissible as evidence that the dentist was on notice of the risks of epinephrine in hypertensive patients.
