Sammanfattning
All dental care demands an ethical approach, maybe even more so
in child dental care. Today more children with disabilities or longterm
illness come to the dentist. How these children should be
met and cared for does not differ from other patients, but in dental
care for children with disabilities and long-term illness it may be
more likely for situations and ethical dilemmas to evolve, where
the dentist must stop, reflect, and analyze before continuing with
treatment. Autonomy, integrity, and informed consent are important
concepts when meeting patients and parents. The dentist also
has to be prepared to sometimes step in and substitute autonomy.
