Ethics in Dental Medicine: A Framework for Moral Responsibility in Dental Practice.

McCullough, Laurence B.

Journal of Dental Education, v49 n4 p219-24 Apr 1985

Two models of moral responsibility in dentistry--the beneficence model (to know what is in the best interest of those served) and the autonomy model (the patient has values and beliefs underlying his/her perspective on his/her own best interests)--are outlined, and a framework for resolving conflict between the two is presented.
