Course overview

Dentistry is a part of the medical community and, like other professions in the healthcare arena, should view the human being as a unit that integrates the "whole" of the human, the biological, spiritual, psychological, and social. Everything related to dentistry should be included among the rights and duties of medicine because the dentist treats patients and not only teeth. The ADA Principles of Ethics and Code of Conduct is a written expression of the obligations arising from the implied contract between the dental profession and society. Contained in the Code are the principles of biomedical ethics that guide the behavior expected of those in the dental profession. This class presents a basic understanding of the principles and theories of medical ethics, the difference between ethical, moral and legal and contains an ethical decision-making tool for resolution of ethical dilemmas faced daily by dentists. The Code is referenced in relation to those principles and theories and several case studies are included.
