Reflections on teaching dental ethics to vocational dental practitioners in London in 2002.

In autumn 2002, the five London general dental practice vocational training schemes were the subject of focus group analysis after a session on dental ethics. The participants discussed a number of ethical dilemmas based on copies of original records and correspondence with names deleted. During the final part of the session, participants' perceptions and opinions on the teaching of ethics' were explored. This provided interesting insights into their knowledge of and attitudes toward ethics and the professional/business interface.

Dental ethics and the role of experts.

Moral problems in dentistry have both a technical and an evaluative component, but expertise in clinical dentistry does not confer expertise in clarifying evaluative issues. Ethical expertise consists of the capacity either to provide strong justifications for a range of ethical propositions or to perform a skill well according to the moral rules and virtues of a practice. I consider four areas of ethical expertise, the contributions that ethics experts might make to the practice of dentistry, and who the likely candidates to be ethics experts are.

Several short cases are presented showing how ethical communication can be difficult. Direct communication (what psychologist call confrontation) is recommended and some tips are offered.

Dental ethics as an intellectual discipline: taking the next step.

The development of ethics education in dental and dental hygiene schools is traced. In the early 1980s curricula were informal, often incorporated with jurisprudence or practice management courses, and there were few effective educational materials. Over the next decade formal guidelines for teaching ethics had been approved by the American Association of Dental Schools, several texts and journals featuring ethics columns had appeared and PEDNET, the Professional Ethics in Dentistry Network had been created. The next step is to develop a regular forum for publication of papers in ethics in dental care.
