This paper explains the legal principle of informed consent in surgery and presents the results of a study of the efficacy of verbal information as part of the informed consent process in oral and maxillofacial surgery, using third molar surgery as a model, which showed that patients were most likely to recall being warned about pain and swelling and less likely to remember being told about trismus, dysaesthesia of the lip and dysaesthetic of the tongue.
