For dentists and dental students, this book approaches problems involving AIDS, dentist/dental hygenist relationships, ethically acceptable advertisements, and many others in a clear, rational and systematic fashion. Case studies are integrated throughout the text, which is divided into three sections: the first covers the foundations of dental ethics; the second examines topical issues in depth; and the third presents extensive case commentaries. Two codes of ethics comprise the appendices.
