The Nonmaleficence and the Beneficence are frequently connected and the reason for this is that both are seen in the Hippocratic tradition tradition that demand the doctor to perform what will most benefit the client.It is very significant for every dental hygienist to think about all the 4 ethical concepts when resolving a ethical dilemma.

The ethical dilemma happens when any of the above concepts dispute with another.For instance,if the client is thinking that no need to take x-ray because he or she can save money by that.Here the patient is taking the decisions by himself or herself.Not ready to perorm x-ray for a long period is a kind of nonmaleficence and this is not an advantage for the client and it may lead to danger situations because of undiscovered periodontal disorder.
