“…Therefore, mutual trust between dentists and patients is important and it should be nurtured at all levels of treatment. When patient rights and interests are protected, dentists also become protected because most of the existing laws fulfil the ethical obligations of dentists to safeguard the patients' best interests as primary (27)(28)(29). Acceptance of gifts by dentists in the current study was lower than that reported previously.…”

Background:The relationship between dentists and dental supply representatives is not as well known as that between physicians and pharmaceutical sales representatives. Aims: To estimate the magnitude, associated factors and characteristics of the interaction between dentists and dental supply representatives in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among dentists working in major governmental and private hospitals in different regions of Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to all participants, either in electronic or paper format, depending on the proximity of the participants. A total of 672 participants completed the survey (response rate, 67.2%).Results: Approximately 68% of participants reported an interaction with dental supply representatives. Saudi dentists had a lower interaction with dental supply representatives than non-Saudi dentists (65.1% vs 73.1%). Dentists working in private hospitals had more interactions with dental supply representatives than those working in public hospitals (78.1% vs 63.2%). Compared to residents and interns, dental consultants and specialists had more interactions with dental supply representatives. Dentists who had a prior history of working abroad showed more interactions with dental supply representatives than those with no such history (75.9% vs 63.7%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the following characteristics were independently associated with greater dentist-dental supply representatives interaction: male sex, older age, living in the eastern region, unsure about income satisfaction, certain job titles (such as specialists), and certain specialties. Conclusion: Dentists have a high number of interactions with dental supply representatives in Saudi Arabia. Most of the issues identified are common to those seen in other parts of the world.

“…El odontólogo tiene un deber de conducta con su vida profesional, en concordancia con los principios éticos escritos en las reglas morales (4). Por lo tanto, además de garantizar la confidencialidad a sus pacientes, debe presentar las distintas alternativas de tratamiento, obtener su consentimiento y respetar sus decisiones (5).…”

Resumen: Este trabajo se fundamenta en la necesidad de obtener datos sobre la práctica del consentimiento informado realizado por odontólogos. Los datos pertenecen al Programa de Residencias Odontológicas Universitarias (ROU) de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP). La investigación tiene como intención conocer diferentes aspectos respecto a las fortalezas y debilidades de su utilización actual.A partir de los datos, se puede concluir que, a pesar de que los conocimientos teóricos sobre la práctica del consentimiento informado son escasos, existe una tendencia significativa a destinar tiempo en la consulta dental para su empleo, especialmente en la nueva generación. Se considera imperativo incluir en la malla curricular y en los programas académicos odontológicos principios éticos y legales en relación con el proceso de consentimiento informado. Palabras clave: consentimiento informado, odontología, posgrado INFORMED CONSENT IN ODONTOLOGY RESIDENTS AT THE DENTISTRY FACULTY, LA PLATA'S NATIONAL UNIVERSITYAbstract: This work is based upon the need to obtain data on the practice of informed consent carried out by dentists. Data was generated from the University Residence Program at the Dentistry Faculty, L.P.N.U., Argentina. The investigation's goal is to learn about different aspects regarding strengths and weaknesses of informed consent practice.One of the findings was that theoretical knowledge on the practice of informed consent is scarce, but the new generation of dentists is dedicating more time to it. It is imperative to include ethical and legal principles related to informed consent in all dental academic curricula.Key words: informed consent, dentistry, graduate degrees O CONSENTIMENTO INFORMADO EM ODONTÓLOGOS RESIDENTES DA FACULDADE DE ODONTOLOGIA DA UNIVERSIDADE NACIONAL DE LA PLATAResumo: Este trabalho fundamenta a necessidade de se obter dados sobre a prática do consentimento informado realizado por odontólogos.

A pesquisa tem como objetivo conhecer os diferentes aspectos, a respeito das forças e fraquezas de sua utilzação atual. A partir dos dados, se pode concluir que, apesar de serem escassos os conhecimentos teóricos sobre a prática do consentimento informado, existe uma tendencia significativa a destinar tempo na consulta dental para seu uso, especialmente na nova geração. Considera-se um imperativo incluir no curriculo de formação profissional e nos programas acadêmicos odontológicos, princípios éticos e legais relacionados com o processo do consentimento informado.

“…It is important that health care professionals have appropriate skills to communicate with these patients, and they need to be well informed about prospective treatment for ethical reasons, to reduce anxiety, increase their trust in and compliance with treatment, ensure informed consent, and improve satisfaction (Bishop et al 1997). To establish a good and stable relationship, patients should be informed of the nature of a procedure, its purpose, the outcomes and risks, and alternatives from their initial appointment (Hirsch and Gert 1986). It can be regarded as somewhat unfortunate to find that patients tend to be unhappy with the amount of information they receive from their dentists, and often information given is misunderstood or forgotten (Witt and Bartsch 1993).…”

Objectives: To compare patients' acceptability of a hypodontiaspecific interactive computer-based education material (ICB-EM) versus a British Orthodontic Society (BOS) hypodontia leaflet. Trial Design: Two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial, 1:1 allocation ratio. Methods: The study was conducted at a specialized secondary care facility in the Greater London area. Ninetysix new hypodontia patients aged 14 y and older were randomly assigned to the control group (n = 49) receiving the BOS leaflet or the intervention group (n = 47) receiving the ICB-EM. The main outcome measure was patients' evaluation of the intervention measured by the treatment evaluation inventory. Results: The analyzed sample comprised 76 participants: control group (n = 38) and intervention group (n = 38). The mean age of the sample was 19 y (SD = 7.24) and 20.3 y (SD = 6.9) for the control and intervention group, respectively. The intervention group was significantly more satisfied with the ICB-EM than individuals who received the BOS leaflet (t = −3.53, P = 0.001). Conclusion: Patients preferred the computer-based information. Knowledge Transfer Statement: Patients attending dental care in the 21st century are adept in the use of computerised facilities for obtaining information. The results of the study will provide valuable evidence for clinicians on the level of acceptability of the patients toward interactive computer based health education as opposed to traditional paper leaflets.
