BACKGROUND: The development and expansion of internet represents one of the greatest advances in our ability to communicate and disseminate knowledge. In today’s techno savvy era, health care professionals are presented with a growing number of patients who wish to discuss Internet-based health information. And hence sometimes dentists may fear that their advantage in knowledge is decreasing, and may result in an overprotective attitude towards the informed patient. Thus these evolving dentists-patient relationships in an electronic environment enchant many questions about the reaction of dentist’s personnel regarding these internet informed patients.
