The Virginia Society of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons (VSOMS) supports both the ADA Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct and the AAOMS Code of Professional Conduct as they both capture all areas of ethical behavior for dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons. To that point, the VSOMS agrees that the ADA Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct should be adopted by the VA Board of Dentistry so that ethical standards for dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons are addressed in the regulations.
