Legal Aspects of Dental Practice in Indonesia: A Study of Legal Protection and Professional Ethics
Keywords:
Health Law, Dentistry, Professional EthicsAbstract
Dental practice in Indonesia plays an important role in improving the quality of public health, but faces various legal and ethical challenges. This article aims to review the regulation of legal protection and the implementation of professional ethics for dentists in Indonesia, focusing on Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health and the Indonesian Code of Dental Ethics (KODEKGI). Regulations such as informed consent and professional standards are important elements in providing legal protection for dentists, while the implementation of the code of ethics serves to maintain professionalism and harmonious relationships with patients. However, the implementation of these regulations and ethics still faces challenges, such as lack of legal education, economic pressures, and information imbalances between dentists and patients. This study concludes that intensive legal and ethical education, strengthening supervision, and adapting to technological developments are needed to improve the quality of safe and legally compliant dental services
