The graphically represented survey results were used to determine the main features of a harmonious model of doctor-patient relationship in the course of a diagnostic and treatment process. The proposed harmonious model differs from the collegial model in greater determinism in the doctor's behavioral strategy, which can make its implementation less costly, thus making it more attractive to the majority of patients.

ETHICAL ISSUES SURROUNDING DENTIST-PATIENT RELATIONSHIPS

Mikhalchenko D.V., Zasyadka E.V.

Abstract

All conflicts arising in dental practice can be divided into two groups: conflicts which arise due to lack of confidence in a dentist and conflicts which result from medical errors. Resolution of such conflicts through litigation is related to the general underestimating not only ethical and psychological, but also ethical and legal status of patients as consumers of dental services by dentists. Usually, dentists critically evaluate the patients' past clinical experience. Failure to follow the treatment plan as well as non-compliance with the prescribed medical treatment or dentist's advice are considered as negative aspects of the patient's past clinical experience. One of the main causes of failure to follow the treatment plan and non-compliance with the prescribed treatment is low level of medical awareness of patients. Prevention in dental practice has become one of the current self-initiatives of the dentist. Dentists perceive the status of the dental patient as an integral phenomenon and do not divide it into dental, ethical and psychological, aesthetic, ethical and legal constituents. The main barriers to the professional practice of the dentist include non-compliance and hygienic ignorance of dental patients.

ETHICAL ISSUES SURROUNDING DENTIST-PARAMEDICAL PERSONNEL RELATIONSHIPS

Mazharenko V.A., Reva I.E.

Abstract

Physicians suggest that problem situations that may arise between them and paramedical personnel are due to: 1) low wages of paramedical personnel, 2) low qualification of paramedical personnel, in particular nurses. Usually, dentists emphasize the fact that the nurses' primary purpose is to follow the directions of physicians. In general, strict distribution of roles among medium-trained staff can promote less intense relationships between physicians and paramedical personnel. Adequate training for performing a specific function often underlies readability to perform a particular function in dental health system.

ETHICAL ASPECTS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN STOMATOLOGY

Vargina S.A., Solomatin M.M.

Abstract

Dental clinical research is characterized by a specific feature which cannot be revealed in any other field of medicine. The fact is nearly all dental studies use a therapeutic approach. Hence, all cases under study are clinical ones which require dental care. Clinical trials in stomatology are conducted not only to test a new product, but also to cure the patient. Therefore, while licensing function is imposed on local (research) ethical committee, control function is to be performed by an ethical committee of a particular dental clinic. In this relation it is necessary to stipulate the requirements imposed on such committees as there are not any particular regulations in documentation of different aspects of dental activity.

Ethics DENTAL committees

Shkarin V.V., Kondrashev A.A.

Abstract

In addition to the general parameters which regulate dental committee activities, some specific parameters have been introduced. From ethical point of view, the specific character of these parameters is due to the following: low proportion, in comparison with the other fields of medicine, of inpatients; great ethical importance of aesthetic characteristics of treatment; availability of a professional group of dental laboratory technicians as active participants of treatment process who, however, do not come into personal contact with patients; a considerable number of private dental offices, which are usually quite small and independent; significant differentiation of payment services; dental patients include all groups of patients regardless of their gender, income, ethnic or professional background; well pronounced personification of medical care.

RESPONSIBILITY OF DENTISTS FOR THE QUALITY OF MEDICAL CARE (Experience of Germany)

Shmidtmayer R.

Abstract

Germany ranks 6th in Europe on the effectiveness of health care system. The most important of the rights of the German patients is the right to self-determination, which means that the dentist is obliged to inform the patient in details about treatment options, possible risks and the consequences of treatment refusal. The German dentist must treat the patients with great care and by law is responsible for health damage caused by his fault. The patient, in turn, has the right to demand satisfaction from the doctor for providing false or negligent treatment. Medical errors are less common in German dental practice than in many other countries. However, German dentists are not immune from making medical errors. In this relation the problem of legal responsibility of the dentist for the patient's health and that of "defensive medicine" remain essential.
