DEONTOLOGICAL ASPECTS IN THE DAILY PRACTICE OF A DENTIST

Abstract

Most researchers believe that for the optimal implementation of the principles of medical deontology, it is necessary to take into account a number of conditions: vocation, tact, intelligence, compliance with the norms of the doctor-patient relationship. According to some scientists, medical ethics also provides for a wide range of relationships between medical workers and patients, their relatives, and team members. Thus, it can be noted that medical ethics is identified with medical deontology. If the content of medical deontology is aimed at establishing the duty and duties of a doctor, then the content of the principles of bioethics is aimed at protecting the patient. Bioethics, as an integral part of pedagogy, defines the doctrine of the social, legal and ethical consequences of biomedical technology. The question is indisputable that a medical worker should always remember the patient, have the ability to "conquer and subjugate the soul of the patient". But not everyone agrees that the doctor's duty is to reassure the patient and convince him of the rationality of the chosen method of treatment, and the doctor must be friendly with the patient, show sincere interest in the problem, listen and analyze complaints, because the doctor and the patient have one goal - achieve recovery. The importance of applying the principles of bioethics in dentistry is explained, first of all, by the general significance of this area of medical knowledge and activity. The aim of the research was to study the level of awareness of young specialists - interns about ethical and bioethical issues at the stages of training and using knowledge in the future practice of dentists. Materials and methods. We have applied the method of active discussion about the expediency, role, place and importance of ethical and bioethical issues in the practice of dentists for the development of a competitive specialist. 58 dentists-interns were attended by the discussion (the first research group - 29 interns with an average diploma score of 4.65-5.0; the second group - 17 interns with an average diploma score of 4.0-4.6; the third group - 12 interns with an average diploma score of 3.5-3.9 and the result of “Krok-2 and Krok-3. Stomatology” 75-80.0%, which corresponds to the criterion “satisfactory”). Conclusions. Thus, in the process of research discussion in all three groups of interns-stomatologists, a common opinion was formed about the high relevance of ethical and bioethical issues in the practice of a dentist, as well as the role of such knowledge and skills in strengthening the competitiveness of future specialists.
