This manual is the combined result of international experts on dental ethics brought together as an FDI Working Group. By holding productive meetings and electronic discussions, this group has tapped into the diversity of its members' experience, expertise, and knowledge of ethics, law, and philosophy in public health, private practice, urban and rural dentistry, wealthy and low- and lower-middle-income countries, traditional and modern dilemmas. This Manual is a publication of FDI World Dental Federation. Its contents do not necessarily reflect the policies of the FDI, except where this is clearly and explicitly indicated.
