Veracity (or truth-telling) in healthcare ethics is defined as a comprehensive, accurate, and objective transmission of information, and also as the way the professional augments the understanding of the patient (in clinical/dental practice) or subject (in biomedical research). Veracity, as a moral principle guiding medical (and dental practice) has a long and complicated history; only recently the principle became stable and received a proper definition and differentiation from informed consent. The purposes of this article is to present a short history of veracity in clinical practice, followed by a normative and descriptive analysis of the principle, and finally, to offer some practical applications of the principle in dentistry.
Keywords: veracity; dentistry; normative ethics; amalgams; commercialization.
