me too.
Its deceptive ........ and not according to ADA

Unethical only if you are bound to follow ADA definitions.
Illegal if you do not follow local government definitions.
In Russia dentists are call Stomatologists.
The problem is there is no international standard.
Places like LVI have created other definitions such as Nueromuscular
Dentists.
I think the discription should be accurate to one's credentials and to
what their practice is taylored to.
I really think that only dentists read into this, most of the lay
public does not know or care about the difference.
They videotaped Howard Landesman Former Dean of USC on the street
asking the lay person if they knew what a prosthodontist is. To
everyone's surprise the lay public could not narrow down the field to
dentistry.
