BUCKLEY, P.J., MAZZARELLI, ANDRIAS, SAXE, FRIEDMAN, JJ.

DiJoseph & Portegello, P.C., New York (Arnold E. DiJoseph III of counsel), for appellant. Peltz & Walker, New York (Bhalinder L. Rikhye of counsel), for respondent.

In this dental malpractice action arising from a root canal performed by defendant, questions of fact are presented by the experts' conflicting opinions as to whether defendant departed from the prevailing standard of care and, if so, whether such departure resulted in plaintiff's injuries; and also by the parties' contradictory affidavits as to whether defendant had advised plaintiff of the possible need for re-treatment by an orthodontist.
