In support of the ADA Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct
 

For the last few years we have used the ADA Principles of Ethics with our incoming freshman dental students as we discuss the summer reading book. Additionally the ADA Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct are listed in all of our course syllabi and used sporadically whenever a "cheating or lying case" comes before the VCU Student Conduct & Academic Integrity group (AKA "Honor System"). I highly endorse the acceptance of the ADA Principles as all dentists throughout the US should have a unified policy.
