title: Ethics and dentistry: 2. Ethics and risk management.
abstract: The previous paper explored the meaning of ethics, especially its relationship to dentistry. Here, we examine a practical application for solving ethical problems. Together, the two articles should provide dentists with a core of relevant knowledge about ethics and a ready guide to the daily relevance of ethics.
