It was demonstrated that a group of professionals representing diverse values with regard to oral health care can work effectively to identify pivotal issues and even reach consensus on ethical issues. Where consensus cannot be reached, it is still possible to make progress by clarifying positions. Consensus was reached on a statement regarding adequacy of care for patients whose insurance coverage is less than what the dentist considers appropriate.
