title: Use of an inventory for ethical awareness in dental hygiene.
abstract: This is a study of practicing dental hygienists and dental hygiene students undertaken to ascertain their perceived awareness of ethical, moral, and legal matters and their convictions about being knowledgeable in dealing with them. The study focused on identifying ethical concerns that dental hygienists maintain as being professionally significant and the differences, if any, between currently enrolled students and dental hygiene practitioners.
