Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine inconsistencies within the GDC's Standards for dental professionals and Principles of patient consent guidelines.
  • To highlight the impact of communication difficulties on maintaining genuine patient consent in dentistry.
  • To advocate for a greater emphasis on continuous consent as an essential ethical principle.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of General Dental Council (GDC) ethical codes and consent guidelines.
