| Summary: | Aim: 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.
Results: 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.
Conclusion: 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. |
