Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The core principles of dental ethics and legal standards of care have similar foundations. Both are dedicated to place the patient's best interest as primary and the practitioner's interest as secondary, Similarities between ethics and the law demonstrate that most often there may be distinctions but little core differences. Informed consent principles illustrate the comparison between dental ethics and the law.
