Which of the following is NOT one of the six ethical principles?

Autonomy
Non-maleficence
Integrity
Justice

The correct answer is: Integrity

Integrity is not considered one of the six primary ethical principles commonly referenced in dental ethics. The six ethical principles include autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, justice, fidelity, and veracity. These principles serve as foundational guidelines for ethical decision-making in various healthcare settings, including dentistry. Autonomy emphasizes respecting patient choice and decision-making. Non-maleficence refers to the commitment to do no harm to patients. Justice pertains to fairness and equality in the distribution of care and resources. Fidelity relates to the duty to keep promises and commitments. Veracity involves truthfulness and honesty in communication with patients. While integrity is an essential value in the dental profession, it is not formally listed among the six fundamental ethical principles. Instead, integrity can be seen as an overarching quality that informs how practitioners apply those ethical principles in practice.
