- Title
Ethics, Dentistry, and the Prosthodontist.
- Authors
Felton, David A.
- Abstract
The article presents the author's views on ethics in dentistry. He notes that there are not many training institutes teaching dentists to perform full-mouth rehabilitations. He remarks that despite the lack of training, many prosthodontists serve malpractice trials in their local dental societies. He believes that general dentists who practice outside their scope of expertise are unfair to their patients and suggests that dentists should take decisions to address this unethical practice.
