Lex artis and dyspraxis bioethical implications and biojury ethics : A problem for dental practice
Introduction The lex artis dentistry is the accumulation of precepts and rules to properly treat patients. While dyspraxis refers to malpractice due to incompetence ranging from lack of skill and / or experience, as well as the imprudence or negligence that a dentist can commit in his professional practice.
Objective: It is to determine the association between the lex artis dyspraxics in the ethical-deontological-legal framework of the dental practice in the Venezuelan health system and its bioethical implications and bio-legal ethics in its relation to professional responsibility.
Materials and methods: It is a descriptive, cross-sectional investigation with an intentional sample of 100 dentists through an anonymous, standardized survey with a randomly chosen sample.
Results: in the response of the survey based on the articles of the Code of Dental Ethics, more than 80% of the dentists surveyed were unaware of the content of articles 8,10 and 11 which leads to their transgression. On the other hand, 60% violates the principles of good reciprocity and fellowship in their professional practice stipulated in article 41 and 42. Finally, 70% incurs the practice that transgresses article 81 of the comment code.
Conclusion: In the professional academic training of the dentist it is necessary to strengthen precepts based on bioethical principles to exercise a dental lex artis that does not incur dyspraxical practice that generates legal ethics implications in the practice of dentistry focused on professional responsibility.
