Editorial “Role of Iatrogenic Factors in Dentistry” “An Ounce of Prevention Worth a Pound of Care”
نویسنده
چکیده
The word “Iatrogenic” comes from the Greek language "iatros” which means doctor or healer and “Gennan” means as a result. “Iatrogenesis or iatrogenic effect” is preventable harm resulting from treatments or advice to patients. “Iatrogenesis” is a very common, often preventable, hazard of treatment and is associated significantly with patient mortality and cost. Since the time Napoleon “when advised” to consult his doctor allegedly disclaimed” I don't want two diseases one nature made, one doctor made and marched off instead to Russia. Since then, the patient’s awareness is high and the benefits evolved immensely.
