| Summary: | The ethical problems in the work of the stomatologists are presented by the author in three aspects: has the stomatologist sufficiently good will? has he/she sufficient knowledge and skill? has he/she sufficient possibilities, that is sufficient time to give to the patient, adequate equipment and adequate remuneration. The author believes that the first factor is in the greatest degree dependent on the stomatologist, while the second factor is less dependent, and the third is least (in the national health service system). This means that the responsibility of the stomatologist is greatest in the first case, only half as great in the second case, and least or nearly none in the third case. Attention is called to the shortcomings in the university education of the stomatologists, and lack of continuous postgraduate training. Stress is laid also on inadequate technical equipment and overworking of the dentists. The specific moral problems of various stomatological specialities are mentioned. |
