Resumen

GONCALVES, PE et al. Knowledge evaluation for Brazilian dentist-surgeons on bioethical aspects of the dental treatment. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2007, vol.23, n.3, pp.135-140. ISSN 2340-3152.

Professional-patient relationship and its importance for a good performance and success of the dental treatment must be reflected upon by means of their bioethical aspects. Our study aimed at evaluating dentist-surgeons’ knowledge (n=163) in conducting specialization courses at São Paulo State University-UNESP, on these aspects. Out of the people surveyed, 88.1% mentioned that a decision for the treatment should be made by mutual agreement between professionals and patients, however, 26.4% report that patients’ or their legal representative’s participation in decision-making can cause negative interference. Professionals’ acting when patients choose a less suitable treatment, 95.6% try to convince patients that it is not the best choice and persuade them for a better one by keeping the paternalistic model. It was noticed that 20.3% did not know how to relate the importance of professional-patient interaction as regards the dental treatment. It was therefore concluded that many dentist-surgeons are not taking these bioethical aspects into account in clinical practice.

Palabras clave : Bioethics; Professional-Patient Relation; Personal Autonomy; Paternalism.
