Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Torts in nursing are wrongful acts that can harm patients and potentially lead to civil liability for the involved nurse. These wrongful acts range from unintentional errors to deliberate actions.

Area of Science:

  • Dental regulatory affairs
  • Professional conduct in dentistry

Background:

  • Dental regulatory bodies in Canada oversee professional conduct.
  • Disciplinary actions are taken against dentists for various infractions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the primary reasons for disciplinary actions against Canadian dentists.
  • To examine the consequences of these actions.
  • To investigate associations between disciplinary actions and demographic factors.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of publicly available disciplinary action cases from Canadian provincial regulatory bodies.
  • Coding of disciplinary case details and associated demographic factors.

Main Results:

  • A total of 344 cases were analyzed from five provinces between 2010 and 2020.
  • The rate of disciplinary action was 1.38 cases per 1,000 practitioners annually.
  • Clinical incompetence was the leading cause, followed by professional misconduct and dishonest business practices.
  • Male dentists were overrepresented in disciplinary cases.

Conclusions:

  • This research provides the first comprehensive overview of disciplinary actions against dentists in Canada.
  • Findings highlight key areas of concern in dental practice and professional regulation.
