Abstract

Evidence-based clinical decision making between a dentist and the individual patient occurs in a world of imperfect information, uncertainty, and choice. In this dentist-patient relationship, there exists an asymmetry of knowledge in which the patient seeks the dentist’s specialized knowledge, which the patient lacks, to help make decisions that will maintain or improve their oral health. Hence, the relationship between the dentist and patient must be grounded on the patient’s trusting that the dentist functions in their best interest.
