âDo You Have a Healthy Smile?â.Jos V. M. Welie - 1999 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 2 (2):169-180.details This article examines whether cosmetic interventions by dentists and plastic surgeons are medically indicated and, hence, qualify as medical interventions proper. Cosmetic interventions (and the business strategies used to market them) are often frowned upon by dentists and physicians. However, if those interventions do not qualify as medical interventions proper, they should not be evaluated using medical-ethical norms. On the other hand, if they are to be considered medical practice proper, the medical-ethical principles of nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice and others hold (...)

AIDS: Bioethics and public policy.Udo Schuklenk - 2003 - New Review of Bioethics 1 (1):127-144.details In few other areas of bioethical inquiry exists as close a connection between bioethical professional advice and policy development as is the case with HIV and AIDS.

Cosmetic dentistry: A socioethical evaluation.Alexander C. L. Holden - 2018 - Bioethics 32 (9):602-610.details Cosmetic dentistry is a divisive discipline. Within discourses that raise questions of the purpose of the dental profession, cosmetic dentistry is frequently criticised on the basis of it being classified as a non‐therapeutic intervention. This article re‐evaluates this assertion through examination of ethics of care of the self, healthcare definitions and the social purpose of dentistry, finding the traditional position to be wanting in its conclusions. The slide of dentistry from a healthcare vocation towards being a predominantly business‐focused interaction between (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 2 citations
Consumer-driven and commercialised practice in dentistry: an ethical and professional problem?A. C. L. Holden - 2018 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 21 (4):583-589.details The rise and persistence of a commercial model of healthcare and the potential shift towards the commodification of dental services, provided to consumers, should provoke thought about the nature and purpose of dentistry and whether this paradigm is cause for concern. Within this article, whether dentistry is a commodity and the legitimacy of dentistry as a business is explored and assessed. Dentistry is perceived to be a commodity, dependent upon the context of how services are to be provided and the (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 2 citations
