Making clinical decisions for dental care: concepts to consider

Clinical decisions are often made with incomplete information, yet patient care decisions are made every day. Patients vary clinically, uncertainty exists in diagnostic and prognostic information, and many preventive and treatment alternatives have not been formally assessed for their effectiveness. Because scientific information will never answer all clinical questions, clinical decisions are partially based on probabilistic information.
This paper describes how to apply clinical decision making to diagnosing and managing dental caries and periodontal diseases. By using explicit information to quantify probabilities and outcomes, clinical decision making analyzes decisions made under uncertain conditions and the uncertain impact of clinical information.
Clinical decision making incorporates concepts for preventing, diagnosing and treating dental caries and periodontal diseases: risk assessment, evidence-based dentistry, and multiple oral health outcomes. This information can serve as a tool for clinicians to augment clinical judgment and expertise.

重视医学信用伦理的研究与开发

医疗行业市场化是必然趋势。在医疗行业市场化进程中，医学伦理道德除了道德价值之外，还含有积极的经济内涵。医学伦理道德也是重要的医疗资源，通过参与医疗市场资源的配制和运作，也可以产生经济效益，转化为医疗资本。医疗行业要重视医学伦理道德资源的开发。信用伦理是在市场经济条件下形成的，这是医学伦理学所面临的新课题。笔者认为，不说谎、不期诈，兑现承诺，保证医疗质量，发扬医学人道主义，是医学信用伦理的四项基本标准。
