Ethics in dentistry involves principles guiding professional conduct to ensure patient welfare, respect, and trust. Core principles include autonomy (respecting patient choices), beneficence (acting for patient's benefit), non-maleficence (avoiding harm), justice (fair treatment), and veracity (truthfulness). Dentists must maintain confidentiality, obtain informed consent, and provide competent, evidence-based care. Ethical practice also involves honesty in professional relationships, avoiding conflicts of interest, and continuous learning. Upholding these values strengthens public trust and promotes high standards in dental care.
