Should a local peer-review committee take a case that involves a nonmember of the American Dental Association?

A first step in the ethical analysis of the dilemma you present is to identify the affected parties. These are the patient, the dentist, the constituent and component dental societies and their members, the public and the dental profession as a whole.
