“…Each of these areas contributes to the profession's reputation and fulfills the dentist's responsibility to prioritize the patient's well-being. 21 In some circumstances, the principles of non-maleficence and beneficence contradict one another. If the rule of nonmaleficence is given complete priority, an absurd situation may arise: a dentist would not be permitted to intervene invasively even for the purpose of providing relief, which reflects beneficence.…”

Dentists, like any other profession that deals with human rights and liberties, owe a duty to their patients and the communities in which they practice. The American Dental Association's (ADA) code of dental ethics provides a standard to which all dental professionals are expected to comply. It emphasizes that each dental professional is accountable for "maintaining and strengthening" their profession. There are set rules for this, and all dentists should follow these principles when performing their duties to patients, the public, the profession, and their colleagues. This article focuses on the fundamental principles of ethics and conflicts among them.

The change in attitude of patients with emphasis on being involved and informed of every aspect of care is not only apparent in adults but also when providing care for children and young adults. It is important for the dentist to be well informed of the fundamental process of informed consent, which exists under the law in order to provide care within the legal framework. The important issue when obtaining consent is competence of the patients to give consent. The burden is on the dental professional to ensure that the patient understands the treatment options. Informed consent decreases the practitioners liability from claims associated with miscommunication. It does not shift the whole responsibility to the patient but should be a partnership between a clinician and a patient in which each has rights and defined responsibilities.
