Abstract

Two dental students, Michelle and Ashley, are completing an initial examination of their patient, Mrs. Anderson. Part of their routine examination involves an oral and oropharyngeal cancer screening. During the examination, Ashley notices some inconsistencies in Michelle’s oral cancer screening technique. She is not sure if she should say anything to her classmate or if she should just keep her concerns to herself. In the case described here, internal conflict resolution and ethical principles of dental care will be presented and discussed
