“…I kod pitanja iz upitnika koje se fokusira na neizlečivu, zaraznu bolest, odgovori ispitanika obeju grupa su homogeni i ukazuju da na to da je kod nas usvojen stav da pacijent ima pravo da bude istinito obavešten o svom zdravstvenom stanju. Uvažavanjem principa adekvatnog informisanja pacijenta i članova njegove porodice, primenjuje se i princip autonomije 26,27 . Ipak, kako je reč o neizlečivoj, ali i prenosivoj bolesti, samo saznanje da je pacijent HIV pozitivan, imaće zastrašujuć i negativan uticaj na njega i otvoriće etičku dilemušta će doneti više koristi pacijentu, da li mu odmah reći istinu ili prećutati i uputiti ga infektologu.…”

“…Stomatolog treba da informiše pacijenta o njegovom zdravstvenom stanju i rizicima, razumljivo i jasno, rečima koje će pacijent sigurno shvatiti, u skladu sa njegovim obrazovanjem i uzrastom. Suština informacije je u tome da pomogne pacijentu da samostalno donese pravu odluku, što može da uradi jedino ako zna sve potrebne informacije 26,27 .…”

Introduction: Patient care, knowledge of medical law and compliance with the law contribute to more efficient dealing with the ethical dilemmas often faced by today's dentists. Moreover, when it comes to determining 'the best' dental treatment, patients also play a certain role. The aim of the research was to examine the attitudes of Serbian dentists related to ethical dilemmas in everyday practice, so as to determine the factors that affect solving the dilemmas. Materials and methods: The paper was carried out as a cross-sectional study. The research included 88 respondents, 42 final year dentistry students at the Faculty of Medicine in Niš and the Faculty of Dentistry in Belgrade and 46 dentists from both private and state practice. The first part of the questionnaire included socio-demographic information on the respondents, and the second part consisted of 7 closed-ended questions about particular ethical dilemmas. Statistical analysis was done using Excel from Microsoft Office and SPSS, version 18.0. Results: There were no significant differences regarding the students and dentists' answers about individual ethical aspects, except for the domain of question 2b, whether the oral surgeon should have extracted both teeth on the patient's request, although the patient had a heart disease. A statistically significant difference was found (ch 2 =18,834, p<0,0001) regarding the dentists' answers in comparison with the students' answers. Conclusion: The knowledge about ethical principles of the majority of the respondents was satisfying. A smaller proportion of the respondents were not sufficiently aware of the importance of applying ethical principles in dental practice. Consequently, it is necessary to promote education programs about medical ethics for dentists and dentistry students.

“…Poštujući princip informisanja pacijenta, mi ujedno poštujemo i primenjujemo princip autonomije. 8,9 U pojedinim granama stomatologije, za rešavanje istih situacija u praksi, mogu da se primene različite indikacije i tehnike. To je naročito prisutno u stomatološkoj protetici.…”

Contemporary medicine views health as the individual’s physical, mental, and social well-being. Oral health plays a crucial role in one’s well-being, as the oral cavity and its surrounding regions execute essential functions in verbal and nonverbal communication, sensing, digestion, and significantly contribute to aesthetic appearance. The multifaceted nature of the notion of oral health, as well as the patient’s needs and autonomous will result in various treatment options for the same oral state, favouring often contrasting ethical values and different aspects of oral health. The objective of this article is to suggest alternative treatment strategies in dentistry with respect to the following factors: extent of rehabilitation, preserving one’s anatomical structures, aesthetic outcome, number of sessions, patient autonomy. Additionally, this article describes the suggested treatment strategies in an ethical context and determines the conditions of their employment. The suggested treatment strategies are divided in two categories, extensive treatment strategies focusing on the patient’s entire craniofacial complex, while specific treatment strategies focus on specific paramount issues.
