Abstract

Dental practice is about people and service. As the competition for patients increases, the successful practices will be the ones that focus increasingly on communication, relationship building and customer service. Quality care will be demonstrated through focusing on the total clinical and psychological aspects of patient satisfaction--and not just on technical parameters. Any practice can convert to a high level patient relations office if the commitment is truly there. These will be the leading practices of tomorrow.

The responsibilities and rights of dental professionals 2. Professional responsibilities.

Although dentists have well recognised legal, professional and ethical responsibilities, the definition of their role and the corresponding responsibilities broaden further as the profession evolves, the demands from dentistry increase and the context of professionalism changes. Thus, continuous evaluation of the role and responsibilities of dentists is vital for provision of quality care, improvement of professional standards and maintaining professional status. In addition, efforts must be made to uphold the credibility of the profession and the associated public trust as well as meeting the increasing expectations from the profession and individual dentists.
