Opinion

2002-02072

Argued November 26, 2002.

December 16, 2002.

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for dental malpractice, the plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Glover, J.), entered February 15, 2002, which, upon an order of the same court, dated January 14, 2002, granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment, dismissed the complaint.

Goldberg Carlton, New York, N.Y. (Robert H. Goldberg and Gary Carlton of counsel), for appellant.

L'Abbate, Balkan, Colavita Contini, LLP, Garden City, N.Y. (Domingo R. Gallardo and Michele G. Levin of counsel), for respondents.

Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, HOWARD MILLER, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

In opposition to the defendants' prima facie demonstration of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to her allegations of dental malpractice (see Prete v. Rafla-Demetrious, 224 A.D.2d 674, 675; Rosado v. Lutheran Med. Ctr., 202 A.D.2d 412) or lack of informed consent (see Public Health Law § 2805-d; Astuto v. Hogan, 219 A.D.2d 692; Innucci v. Bauersachs, 201 A.D.2d 460). Thus, the defendants were properly granted summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

RITTER, J.P., FRIEDMANN, LUCIANO and H. MILLER, JJ., concur.
