which of following should not be considered when analyzing whether
a general dentist should complete a patients procedure in his/her
office, or refer to a specialist?
o the cost of the procedure
o the patients medical history
o the dentists own education and experience
o the complexity of the procedure

Explanation:

When a General Dentist decides whether to refer a patient to a specialist, factors like the complexity of the procedure (to see if it's beyond general practice scope), the dentist's own education and experience (to check if they can handle it), and the patient's medical history (as it might impact the procedure) are relevant. However, the cost of the procedure is a financial aspect that is more about the patient's payment ability or insurance rather than a clinical - decision - making factor for the dentist in terms of referral based on medical need.

Answer:

the cost of the procedure
