The accrued use of biotechnologies has increased the number of moral issues related to the dental practice. This, among other reasons, has turned ethical reflection guided by dialogue with the service user, into a need to the daily clinical work. This article aims at showing how Bioethics can contribute in dentist's performance, in order to make health professional-user relationship more conscious and critic, as well as more equalitarian.
