Aseptic technique becomes possible as a result of the introduction of the rubber dam, and therefore, rubber dam isolation is now regarded as a mandatory procedure in the first step of endodontic treatment.

When taking health histories, do you ask about all forms of tobacco and nicotine use, including e-cigarettes?

In 04-11-2011 we have published a poll about the growing habit of posting patients’ photos on Facebook. As a result, we have received a total of 103 votes:

  • 40 votes (38.83%) indicated that this practice should be approved by patients.
  • 32 votes (31.07%) expressed their approval of this practice as long as it is for educational purposes.
  • 19 votes (18.45%) expressed their total rejection to this practice and believe no reasons should justify it.
  • 7 votes (6.8%) believe it is ok to publish patients’ photos on Facebook!.
  • 5 votes (4.85%) expressed some thoughts such as (Only teeth should be shown and no face, only intra-oral images can be published and some believes of knowledge sharing).

I believe that this issue is very sensitive and many dentists still publish their patients’ photos to online social network such as Facebook without having a permission to do so. I guess it is time to have a policy and regulation regarding this practice which will ensure that the privacy of our patients is maintained.

Share Your Thoughts.

More of dental pictures are posted there either for educational purposes or for patients attraction, or simply a show off. Always there is a hot topic about displaying patients’ dental photos or their eyes unmasked or showing their total face or body. This practice should be controlled by ethics and regulations. Our SaudiDent.com Member (Murtada Hassan Aldoukhi) has initiated this topic, and I am pushing it forward for voting to get some insights from you. So you are invited to share your vote and opinion.

And 2.38% voted for others.

Of course these are not a scientific findings as the purpose is to sense the general views of dentists attending those events which I believe give some basic impression that would help dental events organizers to tweak their scientific functions accordingly.
