I apologize for making some of you nervous, and perhaps even resentful, but I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! I do not like the new unethical face of my profession, where incessant seeking of more money has replaced service to the public, honesty, and self-respect. Numerous areas of major ethical concern in dentistry are identified in this article. The ongoing, if not accelerating, degeneration of professional ethics in dentistry is clearly evident to even casual observers. Improvements in professional ethics are necessary to regain our self-respect and the respect of the people we serve. All of us need to improve, including practitioners, speakers, dental schools accomplishing research, manufacturers, editors, and evaluating groups. It is time to return to honesty and to dealing with our fellow men and women in the way we would want to be treated ourselves. I do not think it is too late.
我为让你们中的一些人感到紧张，甚至怨恨而道歉，但我已经受够了！我不喜欢我这个职业新出现的不道德面貌，在这里，对更多金钱的无休止追求已经取代了为公众服务、诚实和自尊。本文指出了牙科领域众多主要的道德关切问题。即使是随意的观察者也能清楚地看到，牙科职业道德正在持续退化，即便不是加速退化。改善职业道德对于重获我们的自尊以及我们所服务的人们的尊重是必要的。我们所有人都需要改进，包括从业者、演讲者、从事研究的牙科学院、制造商、编辑和评估团体。是时候回归诚实，并以我们希望自己被对待的方式与我们的同胞打交道了。我认为现在还不算太晚。
