In a free
market situation where the
|
|
|
dentist is
primarily motivated by the
|
|
|
profit
motive, the possibility exists for
|
|
|
dentists to
exploit patients by advising
|
|
|
more
treatment to be purchased than is
|
|
necessary -
supplier induced demand.
|
|
|
Traditionally,
dentist behavior has been
|
|
|
controlled by
a professional code and a
|
|
|
system of licensure.
