Students face many ethical dilemmas while in dental school. In a national survey, the ethics educators at each school were asked to list these concerns. Out of the 49 responses received, the most common ethical matter was cheating on written tests (mentioned 25 times), followed by pressure for clinical productivity/ requirements (14), a wide range of differing treatment plans from clinical faculty (eight) and a lack of civility and/or professionalism (eight). Other responses included one-time licensure exams, respect for patients, quality of students, substance abuse and educational debt.
