Abstract

The word “moral” is defined as relating to the principles of right and wrong in behavior and “ethics” is defined as a system of moral values or the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group and deals with the values relating to human conduct, with respect to the right and wrong of certain actions and to the goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such actions. An orthodontist must follow basic bioethical principles such as benevolence, autonomy, causing no harm, and justice in order to instill the patient-doctor trust and to have healthy clinical practice. It should be emphasized that the use of these principles is of extreme importance in facing the ethical issues common to clinical practice.
