    Area of Science:

    • Dental Hygiene
    • Biomedical Ethics
    • Professional Conduct

    Background:

    • Dental hygienists have a professional duty to safeguard the public.
    • Addressing incompetent or unethical behavior can be challenging for practitioners.
    • Existing guidance may not fully equip hygienists to handle such situations confidently.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a practical guide for dental hygienists on addressing errant professional behavior.
    • To enhance practitioner confidence in managing ethical dilemmas.
    • To uphold the integrity and standards of dental hygiene practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review synthesizing principles of biomedical ethics.
    • Application of Morriem's system for evaluating adverse outcomes.
    • Inclusion of relevant examples from dental hygiene practice.

    Main Results:

    • Discussion of core biomedical ethics principles applicable to dental hygiene.
    • Framework for assessing the severity of adverse outcomes in practice.
    • Strategies for investigating and resolving ethical dilemmas are presented.

    Conclusions:

    • Dental hygienists are equipped with ethical principles and assessment tools to address misconduct.
    • Confidence in managing challenging behaviors can be improved through structured guidance.
    • Upholding professional integrity is paramount in dental hygiene practice.
