- The correct answer is The police because ownership of dental records legally belongs to the dentist or the dental clinic that created the record.
- The patient has the right to access their records but does not own them.
- The police may request or seize records under legal authority, but they do not have ownership rights.
- Ownership implies control and responsibility for the record, which only the treating dentist or dental clinic owner hold.
