Are work-related cases involving chipped or broken teeth recordable?
Yes, under section 14300.7(b)(7), these cases are considered a significant injury or illness when diagnosed by a physician or other health care professional. Work-related fractures of bones or teeth are recognized as constituting significant diagnoses and, if the condition is work-related, are appropriately recorded at the time of initial diagnosis even if the case does not involve any of the other general recording criteria.
