["Dental education" or censurable publicity?]

The author comments on the problem of advertising in dentistry desguised as public "dental education". In the form of personal interviews to individual dentists or "scientific" articles through mass media the news on therapeutic methods, procedures or materials, usually is rather inaccurate, presenting the information almost as panaceas without a serious support. This has a negative effect on the community and is by all means unethical and punishable.
