A Reflection on the Relevance of Bioethics in Current Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - A Short Communication.

Abstract

In today's medicine, decisions may not be so simple or unequivocal. The debate forested by scientific development is not alien to the needs of human beings. Now more than ever, new disciplines such as bioethics are gaining relevance in the face of these scientific, technical and biomedical advances that challenge professionals regarding moral and ethical limits. All these uncertainties will be the subject of deliberation and debate. Currently, it is necessary for health professionals to have the necessary tools to reflect and decide on issues such as respect, dignity and the autonomy of people.
