Esthetic dental procedures are performed not on medical reasons but with cosmetic purposes at all. Are they acceptable according to the principle of Primum non nocere, and to what extent? To answer this question, an anonymous inquiry was carried out among 69 Bulgarian dentists. The results showed that the esthetic dental procedures were acceptable and worth being performed more than half of the inquired dentists answered positively to the questions.
