Background: Medical ethics in dentistry plays a vital role in ensuring patient-centered, fair, and professional care. Key ethical principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and confidentiality, are essential in dental practice. In Kabul, Afghanistan, where the healthcare system faces serious challenges due to political instability, poverty, and limited resources, the attitudes and awareness of dentists regarding professional ethics remain underexplored.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 100 dental professionals in Kabul using a structured questionnaire distributed through online platforms. Data were collected using Google Forms and analyzed with SPSS Version 26.

Results: Participants were predominantly male (86%), under 35 years of age (92%), and graduates of private universities (76%). While most valued patient-centered care (79%) and practiced informed consent (72%), only 58.6% prioritized patient well-being over financial gain. Ethical training was perceived as insufficient by 58% of participants, despite 65% reporting regular participation in professional development activities.

Conclusion: The findings indicate moderate to strong ethical awareness among dentists in Kabul, particularly regarding confidentiality and informed consent. However, economic pressures and insufficient formal ethics education may affect the consistent application of ethical principles in practice. Enhancing ethics training in dental curricula and implementing clearer professional regulations could strengthen ethical conduct and improve patient care in Afghanistan's complex healthcare environment.
