Sammanfattning
Dental treatments on aesthetic basis imply ethical perspectives that should always be in the mind of the professional dentist. It sets special requirements for patient information about possible short and long term side effects, as well as the prospect of future repairs or re-doing. In the treatment of younger patients, there is particular reason for a conservative approach, as the prospect of pulp damage is significant and as there are high demands for long-term sustainability. Likewise, it is essential that aesthetic treatment is only performed according to the patient's own needs and after thorough informed consent.
