Abstract
A cross-sectional, questionnaire based study was conducted in Moradabad, U.P., India to assess the attitude of dental practitioners towards their colleagues. Materials and Methods : Eleven-item, close-ended, validated questionnaire was formulated. The responses of 60 registered dental practitioners were recorded. Majority of the respondents were well versed with ethical obligations towards their colleagues but only few of them were aware of all the principles mentioned in Codes of dental ethics, DCI, India. Dentists face ethical problems/dilemmas while dealing with their duties towards colleagues and their patients. Adopting of ethical ways in practice was independent of gender, qualification and experience of practice. It is recommended that dental ethics should be emphasized upon during the formative years of dental education.
