Correct answer: D — The overall well-being of the patient

The CDA Code of Ethics establishes that the dentist's primary professional obligation is the overall well-being of the patient. This encompasses beneficence (acting in the patient's best interest), non-maleficence (avoiding harm), respect for patient autonomy (informed consent/refusal), justice (fair access to care), and veracity (truthful communication). Commercial or financial considerations must not compromise this primary obligation.
