[How do Dutch dentists deal with patients' rights in practice?].

In the Netherlands patients rights are regulated in the 'Medical Treatment Contract Act'. This article describes how dentists deal with those rights in daily practice. From the registers of the Dutch Dental Association 806 dental practitioners were drawn at random. They received a questionnaire on this topic; 41.6% responded. The results show that the implementation of patient rights in dental practice is far from ideal. Over a third of the respondents has had complaints about a lack of information from their patients. Respondents who attended post-graduate courses on dentist-patient communication dealt better with a number of patient rights than respondents who did not attend such courses. Confusion over how to interpret the rights of patients and the duties of the dentist could underlie the lack of implementation of those rights.

[Stomatology under the social security system of Guatemala].

In an effort to evaluate dental health care in the Guatemalan social security system and to introduce pertinent changes, a study of dental health care activities in the Guatemalan Social Security Institute (IGSS) was undertaken, beginning with a review of its functions as designated to the IGSS by national law. The aspects evaluated led to the conclusion that the IGSS does not provide satisfactory dental care to all its beneficiaries. It is therefore necessary to modify its activities. Attention is called to the need for epidemiological research that will provide the basis for adapting dental health care activities to the real needs of IGSS beneficiaries. It is also necessary to implement community primary prevention measures and to substantially alter the clinical care models.

[Hippocratic oath and the deontology of dentistry].

After an historical briefly mentioning to Hippocrates' oath and the one of the German dentist (1880), this paper considers article n. 32 of the italian Constitution and the physician's responsibility, not only from the deontological aspect, but also with particular reference to the patient's rights which lead to the obligation of consensus. The Authors conclude looking forward to a special deontological code for dental graduates as soon as possible.
