Ethical Scenario Questions for Dental School Interviews | Live mock interview - Dr. Viral

[@Panzer121000]

As usual, these vidoes are so helpful! Obviously, it's a personal decision and there's no right or wrong answer, but I will point out that the ADA states that "Radiographs are considered safe for the pregnant patient, at any stage during the pregnancy." They also advise patient shielding. In practice, many pregnant patients will still reject radiographs.

That's true Kuber. In practice, we do realize things a subjective and dramatically different

Thank you so much for this initiative!

[@CaapidSimplified]

Our pleasure Jo Jo. How can we help you further with any top of mind questions you might have

[@fundedental4892]

He should mention dental ethics principles and mention HIIPA instead of just saying I would do this and that

Thank you very much Nourah.. great job with your research on ethics and relating it to the scenario questions during Advanced Standing interviews. I have have been practicing in Mumbai since quite a while now, and its very usual for me to take decisions myself and not escalate the situation, like the one to the Orthodontist.... My concern is, how do you think I can handle such scenarios, or is it ok if a general dentist in his or her own capacity takes an individual call on proceeding with the treatment. Thanks

Dr. Amit Sadhwani MDS Prosthodontics Thank you, Dr. Amit! There are several ways of approaching an ethical scenario. In your case, if you believe that your experience makes you competent to make a decision you should feel confident to do that. Two important factors to consider here are documentation and clear communication with the patient to avoid complications in the future. Ability to recognize your bandwidth to provide care and referring a patient when required is a valuable skill. I hope this helps!

@@CaapidSimplified Sure it does. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for sharing valuable information with us. Please recommend me a book were I can find these type of ethical scenarios. I will appreciate it.

[@CaapidSimplified]

American College of Dentists have many courses on ethics with clinical scenarios which is an ideal source

[@reemsalih2560]

Can you please explain again about the before last question about the informed consent

[@CaapidSimplified]

Hi Reem, can you post the question here is comments and we'll leave a detailed written description

[@n.c.1505]

About the pregnant patient scenario, what if there's a treatment she has to undergo which cannot wait, do we defer that too or what could be done? thanks!

[@n.c.1505]

I asked my dentist about this question, she told me that she would maintain confidentiality.

[@CaapidSimplified]

We're aligned with your dentist about maintaining confidentiality, and as you would've observed in Viral's answer, the subjectivity of the circumstance is what determines the ethical dilemma here

[@amymeg2951]

Why is he trying to convince the pregnant teen to disclose her pregnancy with her parents?! Kinda wierd no?

[@CaapidSimplified]

Ethical dilemmas evaluate out principles and values. There is no right and wrong answer, till you have a logical reasoning backing it

[@fundedental4892]

He did a good job but his answers are not on point
