Professional ethics had been an integral part of practice in medicine and dentistry for thousands years ago. The young professionals used to learn professional ethics from their mentors during informal training. The literature reveals that the structured and formal education of dentistry and medicine included only the core subjects in the curriculum because behavioural sciences were not considered as part of dentistry and medicine by that time. Today we find none of the courses have been included in the dental curriculum in different countries of the world. This question focuses to brain storm the group members and to seek their valuable input about the significance of professional ethics in dentistry. It is hoped the discussion will lead the administrators to modify dental curriculum.

Dear Dr. Miftachul,
Thank you very much for your kind response to the question. The paper highlights ethics of social media. On the other hand question asks importance of professional ethics employed by dentists and dental practice. I think you will give your valued opinion in this dimension too.
I believe that foundational work in dental ethics was done by David Ozar, PhD. some time ago. His work might shed light on a starting point for you.
