As a result of the periodontal disease, Pl~intiff will lose Teeth Numbers 7, 8, 9, lO, and 15; in addition, the bridge over Teeth Numbers l2-l4 will have to be redone. 1l. In addition, Plaintiff has numerous overhanging and overcontoured restorations, as well as open contacts in her mouth, all of which were done by the Defendant, STEPHEN SUDEN, D.D.S., which Plaintiff further believes and avers contributed to the development of the periodontal disease. l2. The development of generalized periodontal disease, with moderate to advanced bone loss, was caused by the negligence of the Defendant, STEPHEN SUDEN, D.D.S. l3. The Defendant's negligence consisted of: (a) The performance of substandard dental work consisting of overhanging and overcontoured restorations and open contacts, all of which created increased risk of periodontal disease; (b) The failure to utilize standard periodontal screening techniques to include panorex and/or full series X-rays, and periodontal probings; (c) The failure to recognize and diagnose periodontal disease; and (d) The failure to recommend treatment by a periodontal specialist until May of 1996, well after the periodontal disease process was generalized. 5 WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff, SHIELA COULSTON, demands jUdgment of the Defendants, STEPHEN SUDEN, D.D.S., and STAAB & SUDEN ASSOCIATES, INC., in an amount in excess of Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00) and in excess compulsory arbitration. of the amount required in /-) I I iespecjfullY submitted, CHMIDT 7f RONCA, P. c. l-Y. , :.{L By: arles E.

Aficr rcnsonnblc invcstigntion, thc Dcfcndnnts nrc without knowlcdgc ns to thc truth of thc nvcrmcnts of cnch nnd cvcry nllcgntion of I'nragrnphs 8 through 10, thc mcans of proof thel'cof being in thc cxclusivc control of thc Plnintiff, nnd proof thereof is demanded nt trial, if material and relevant. II. Denied. During the time of the aforesaid irregular dentist/patient relationship, Defendnnt Suden performed relatively few operative proeedures on the Plaintiffs mouth and teeth. In summary, over the 14-year span, Plaintiff hnd five one-surfaee restorations, two two- surface restorations and three three-surfacc restorations, all of which were necessary and in accordance with acceptablc and applicablc prcvailing standards of dental care, and none of which caused or contributed to patient's alleged, and recent, problems, all of which are denied, and proof demanded if material and relevant. All other allegations in said paragraph not herein specifically denied are denied generally and placed at issue pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1029(e). 12. Denied. In further response the averments of Paragraphs 9 through II, above, are incorporated herein by reference and further, and in the alternative, it is averred that the allegations of Paragraph 12 are conclusions of law to which no response is required. In the fur\her alternative, each and every allegation of Paragraph 12 is denied and placed at issue pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1029(e). 13. Each and every allegation of Paragraph 13 is denied and placed at issue. In further answer, all of the care rendered Plaintiff by Defendant Suden was appropriate and necessary 2 .". within the applicable and appropriate stnndards of profcssionnl dcntnl cnre. At no time did Defendnnt Suden commit any negligence in his trentment of Plnintiff. In the nltcrnative, each nnd cvery nllegntion of Pnragraph 13 is denied nnd plnccd at issue pursunnt to Pa. R.C.P. 1029(c). 14.-17. Each nnd every nllegation of Paragraphs 14 through 17 is denied and placed nt issue pursuant to Pn. R.C.P. 1029(e) and proof thereof is demnndcd if matcrinl and relevant. NEW MA TIER 18. The averments of Paragraphs 7 through 13, above, are incorporatcd herein by reference. 19. Defendant Suden in his care and treatmcnt of Plnintiff and in his rendition of dental care, although done on an irregular and infrequent basis, was at all times performed with appropriate due care, and in accordnnce with allnpplicable standards of professional dental eare under the eircumstances then prcvailing. 20. None of Defendant Suden's trcatment and care rendered Plaintiff was the cause, or substantial contributing factor, or proximate cause of Plaintiffs present alleged dental problems, all of which are nevertheless denied, and proof of which is demanded if material and relevant, nor did Defendant Suden's treatment in any manner increase the risk of harm to Plaintiff. 21. The major, if not sole, contributing cause of Plaintiffs alleged present dental problems, which are nevertheless denied, and proof thereof demanded, was Plaintiff s contributory negligence which, on a comparative basis, greatly exceeded any alleged negligence on the part 3 of Dcfcndant Suden, nnd which negligcnce by Dcfendnnt Suden is nevertheless denied, and is thus a completc bar to I'laintiffs claim. Spccifically, thc causc of Plaintiffs alleged pcriodontal and other dentnl problems, the existencc of which is neverthelcss dcnicd and proof demanded, wns causcd by many fnctors solcly attributable to Plaintiffs Inek of concern for her own dental health, including maintenance of a very irregular nppointment schedulc with Defendant Suden, canccllation of many appointments, unwillingness or inability to control her bruxism, her lack of continuing and diligcnt personal oral hygicnc, her refusal to discontinue smoking, her failure to takc Defendant Suden' s adviec and suggestion for evaluation by a periodontist in 1983 and 1990 and her failurc to follow Defcndant Suden's recommendation made on November 22, 1988 that she thercaOer come in for evaluation and prophylaxes at three-month intervals, and again, that she control her bruxism and smoking, all of which advice she ignored and refused and failed to follow. 22. In further illustration and expansion of the foregoing allegations of contributory negligence, Defendant Suden saw and treated Plaintiff on October 12, 1979 and then did not have the opportunity to see or treat her until February 14, 1983 which was for an emergency problem. 23. Further, Plaintiff missed or failed to keep appointments with Defendant Suden on February 25, 1985, October 7, 1985, August I I, 1986, December 8, 1986, February 16, 1988, February 19, 1992, September 3, 1992, December 29, 1992, February 7, 1996 and October 17, 1996. The only years in which she appeared somewhat regularly for appointments were 1979, ~ . > . I ! I i , 1988,1990 and 1991. From April 20, 1993, Defendant Suden was not afforded the opportunity to examine, evaluate, and treat Plaintiff as might have been neccssary in his opinion, until June 4 ~ '" 22, 1995. Thus, no dentist/pntient rclationship cxisted for various and irrcgular intervals of time, !, I j~: ,J ;, and particularly during the 26-month period from April 1993 until Junc, 1995. 24. Further, following her June 22, 1995 office visit, Plaintiff cancelled an appointment for February 7, 1996, and did not see Defendant for any examination or treatment until April 3, 1996, which was followed by her last visit for x-ray examination on May 2, 1996. 25. The bridge in Plaintiffs mouth involving teeth numbers 12 through 14 was constructed by another dentist beforc Plaintiff consulted with Defendant Suden for the first time 1 on April 30, 1979. Throughout the course of her irregular, and sometimes very infrequent visits with Plaintiff, this bridge was observed by Defendant Suden to be functioning well and until her last examination on May 2, 1996, was still functional. AOer said date, Defendant had no f I . I professional contact with Plaintiff. 26. Defendant Suden' s minimal and necessary restorative procedures on Plaintiffs teeth did not produce "numerous overhanging and overcontoured restorations and open contact", but on the contrary, were adequately and properly performed in accordance with the accepted i . , standards of professional care then or there applicable under the relevant circumstances. 27. Defendant Staab & Suden Assoeiates, Inc. is a corporation and as a separate entity cannot practice dentistry or hold a license to do so. Thus, it did not have the exper1ise, ability or authority to direct or control Dr. Suden's performance as a dental professional, and cannot be held responsible for any alleged negligent conduct by Dr. Suden, which conduct is nevertheless denied. 28. Plaintiffs Complaint fails to state any claim upon which relief can be granted. 5 I' i '. VERIFICATION Subject to the penalties for falsification to authorities prescribed by 18 Pa.
