Mike Weisenfeld, DDS
“I support your manual and effort to increase general knowledge in ethics for dentistry. The information is useful and should be a part of all dentist’s basic information concerning ethics.”
As David T. Ozar and David J. Sokol suggest in "Dental Ethics at Chairside: Professional Principles and Practical Applications", the ethical issues faced by dentists in today’s society have become more complex and seem to arise more often than those faced by dentists in the past. Given the current direction of health and dental care, it is essential that dental professionals understand and practice wholeheartedly the code that has been set forth by the ADA. After completing this course, the learner will be able to:
- Understand what is meant by ethics in Dentistry.
- Understand the term “profession” and how it relates to ethics in dentistry.
- Become familiar with elements and principles of ethical decision making.
- Understand the ethics of patient relations, delegation of duties, substance abuse in dentistry, financial arrangements, and managed care.
- Understand the difference between dental law and dental ethics.
- Define the normative theories of ethics and apply them to ethical issues in practice.
