Any significant involvement of AADR/IADR in ensuring responsible research among their members must be grounded in a widely accepted consensus that there are good moral reasons for such involvement. One important source of such reasons is AADR/IADR's identity as a scientific research, a professional, and a dental association. These identities and the commitments to society and to clients implicit in them generate several mutually reinforcing reasons for taking responsibility for the reliability of members' research. With regard to scientific research, these reasons arise from what it means to do such research, and from the various ways the larger society supports that activity. With regard to the professional dimension, the reasons arise from what it means to be a profession in this society and can be best seen in relation to the four major characteristics of professions. With regard to AADR/IADR's being a dental profession, such reasons arise from dental researchers' specific role in the dental family of professions' goal of delivering optimal care to the clients of practitioners. The clients' perspective, specifically the need to be able to trust that one will receive the best care possible, is a final source for such reasons. Two current issues, the sharing of findings and commercial/industrial support for research, give new urgency to this question of the Association's role in ensuring responsible research.
美国牙科研究协会（AADR）/国际牙科研究协会（IADR）在确保其成员进行负责任的研究方面的任何重大参与，都必须基于一种广泛接受的共识，即这种参与存在充分的道德理由。这些理由的一个重要来源是AADR/IADR作为一个科学研究、专业和牙科协会的身份。这些身份以及其中隐含的对社会和客户的承诺，产生了几个相互强化的理由，促使其对成员研究的可靠性负责。就科学研究而言，这些理由源于进行此类研究的意义，以及更广泛社会支持该活动的各种方式。就专业层面而言，这些理由源于在这个社会中成为一个专业意味着什么，并且在与专业的四个主要特征相关的方面可以最好地看到。就AADR/IADR作为一个牙科专业而言，这些理由源于牙科研究人员在牙科专业家族为从业者的客户提供最佳护理的目标中的特定作用。客户的观点，特别是需要能够相信自己将获得尽可能最好的护理，是这些理由的最终来源。当前的两个问题，即研究结果的分享和研究的商业/工业支持，使协会在确保负责任研究方面的作用这一问题有了新的紧迫性。
