Abstract
Quality dental care begins with determining the patient’s
understanding of the dental treatment, their expectations,
attaining all the diagnostic information and compiling a
treatment plan best suited to each individual.1 Once a
decision has been made to undertake treatment, the
clinician may adopt a paternalistic approach or could
lean towards respecting patient autonomy.
