BACKGROUND
Children may be accompanied by various people when attending for dental treatment. Before treatment is started, there is a legal requirement that the operator obtain informed consent for the proposed procedure. In the case of minors, the person authorized to give consent (parental responsibility) is usually a parent.
AIM
To ascertain if accompanying persons of children attending the Department of Paediatric Dentistry at the Eastman Dental Hospital, London were empowered to give consent for the child's dental treatment.
DESIGN
A total of 250 accompanying persons of children attending were selected, over a 6-month period. A questionnaire was used to establish whether the accompanying person(s) were authorized to give consent.
RESULT
The study showed that 12% of accompanying persons had no legal authority to give consent for the child's dental treatment.
CONCLUSION
Clinicians need to be aware of the status of persons accompanying children to ensure valid consent is obtained.

目的
确定在伦敦伊斯特曼牙科医院儿童牙科就诊的儿童的陪同人员是否有权为儿童的牙科治疗给予同意。
设计
在6个月的时间里，共选取了250名儿童的陪同人员。通过问卷调查来确定陪同人员是否被授权给予同意。
结果
研究表明，12%的陪同人员没有为儿童牙科治疗给予同意的合法权力。
结论
临床医生需要了解陪同儿童人员的身份状况，以确保获得有效的同意。
