Abstract
AbstractThe importance of obtaining informed consent in dentistry is increasingly recognised for legal arguments which are explored. Patients have the right to self-determination and respect for it underpins the relationship of trust deemed so important for clinical success. The practical implications of the doctrine of informed consent are sometimes unclear in clinical work--the reasons for this are assessed and illustrated. Standards of good practice in obtaining informed consent are suggested and evaluated in this work.
