Dentists and dental students realize that it is difficult to make decisions in critical situations and adhere to ethical principles, and that a general understanding of medical ethics does not meet their needs to deal with such problems. Kazemian et al(7) reported six important ethical issues in the field of dentistry as follows: inappropriate treatment procedures, not accepting liability for individual errors, overtreatment (or unnecessary treatment), inappropriate behavior with patients, non-professional discussion about another colleague’s work quality, and unfair behavior towards deprived patients.(7) In a study by Christie et al,(12) on freshman and senior dental students on professional ethics, there were significant differences in communication skills, problem-solving ability, and honesty in behavior of senior dental students, and their increased awareness compared with freshmen because of the received trainings.
