Article Synopsis
- Respecting patient autonomy is essential in medicine, but can clash with the principles of beneficence (doing good) and nonmaleficence (doing no harm), especially in complex cases like oral health care.
- The study analyzed scholarly articles to understand how this ethical conflict arises and how it has been addressed in clinical scenarios, particularly in maxillofacial treatments.
- The results showed that while most recommendations leaned towards prioritizing medical benefits for the patient, there were also instances where patient autonomy was upheld, particularly for preventive care or low-impact interventions.
