Talking about ethics, or bioethics, in the professional practice of the health field, leads us to consider that one can fall into administrative, civil, and even criminal irresponsibility, because of the ignorance of basic elements in this field. This document presents the results of a study aimed at dentists / dental surgeons, where the main findings show that more than 50% of the interviewees lack knowledge about conscious bioethics in their clinical practice. It is important to mention that 80% of the interviewees are dentists who also carry out teaching practices at the university level, so it is interesting for future research to analyse the way this reality impacts on the ethical training of university students.
