These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““We do not overlook the claim of the appellant that the dentist is liable on ‘a warranty of suitability and fitness for the bridges and teeth he sells.’ There is no claim that the material used in the manufacture of the teeth was of inferior quality and not equal to the standard of implied warranty. Indeed, it may be fairly stated that only a strained view of the professional relationship between the dentist and his patient could class the dentist in the category of a salesman of false teeth. The furnishing and the fitting for use of the dentures were all a part of the professional services, and the way in which these services were rendered, as compared to similar services performed by dentists who exercised the average degree of skill, care and diligence of members of the same profession practicing in the same or similar locality, marks the right or lack of right to a recovery for the tort of malpractice. The standards set for professional services govern the right and the duty in actions in tort, in contrast to actions for mere breach of contract.””
