A pilot study on the global practice of informed consent in paediatric dentistry

20242 citationsOpen accessUniversity of Nairobi

Abstract

It is recommended that it is clarified globally when a dentist may act in the "best interest" of the patient, and that guidance is produced to indicate what constitutes a dental emergency. The insights gathered provide insights on international practice of obtaining informed consent and to identify areas for change, to more efficient and ethical treatment for children and patients with special needs. A larger follow up study is recommended to include more or all countries.
