“…Therefore, user-centered interventions are increasingly incorporated in health promotion programs, through psycho-cognitive approaches, in which the professional acts as a facilitator, helping people to recognize their problems and to seek knowledge and skills required to make necessary changes [2,3].…”

“…However, it is necessary to recognize that human behavior is complex and is influenced by various psychological, economic and cultural determinants [1]. Therefore, individuals who, even living in adverse situations, can develop self-management mechanisms and are generally more successful in achieving healthy lifestyles than those without these characteristics [2,3].…”

“…Among the recent cognitive approaches used in health care and dentistry, there is the Motivational Interviewing technique (MI), a person-centered, cognitive behavioral approach, which fosters intrinsic motivation to change through exploration and resolution of personal ambivalence and used to enhance intrinsic motivation for changes, strengthening its active role in courses of action [3][4][5]. It is developed through brief counseling sessions that involve a collaborative partnership focused on setting objectives for the individuals and their self-management [6].…”

“…In an attempt to change this situation, dental professionals use traditional educational activities based on transmission of knowledge, assuming that increase it should lead the patient to behavioral changes [3].

Objective: To evaluate the impact of motivational interviewing (MI) in reducing plaque and bleeding indices on probing in adult users of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) with periodontal problems. Material and Methods: The study included 68 adult users searching for dental treatment in a family health unit located in Piracicaba, SP, and who had plaque index expressed in percentage greater than or equal to 40% and bleeding on probing greater than 10%. They were randomly divided into control group (CG), which received standard dental care and traditional oral health education and experimental group (EG), which received the same care of CG accompanied by the ME technique. Psycho-cognitive and clinical information of individuals were collected in both groups, such as self-assessment and self-efficacy in oral health, plaque index and gingival bleeding at baseline and at the end of treatment. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and Fisher tests and mixed repeated measures considering the significance level of 5% models. Results: We observed statistically significant differences in the 'oral health behavior' 'perception of oral health', 'self-efficacy for oral care', and 'gingival bleeding index' variables on baseline and follow up the impact of the programs. Conclusion: Both strategies had an impact on psycho-cognitive and clinical oral aspects of FHU users; however, MI showed better results.

Advancing Health Promotion in Dentistry: Articulating an Integrative Approach to Coaching Oral Health Behavior Change in the Dental Setting

Oral health is managed based on objective measures such as the presence and severity of dental caries and periodontal disease. In recent years, oral health researchers and practitioners have shown increasing interest in a widened array of physical, psychological, and social factors found to influence patients’ oral health. In this article, we introduce a behavior change coaching approach that can be used to enhance psychosocial diagnosis and client-centered delivery of health-promoting interventions. Briefly, this health coaching approach is based on an interactive assessment (both physical and psychological), a non-judgmental exploration of patients’ knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs, a mapping of patient behaviors that may contribute to disease progression, gauging patient motivation, and tailoring health communication to encourage health-promoting behavior change. Developed in a clinical setting, this coaching model is supported by interdisciplinary theory, research, and practice on health behavior change. We suggest that, with supervision, this coaching process may be learned.

In Defense of Flossing: Part II-Can We Agree It's Premature to Claim Flossing Is Ineffective to Help Prevent Periodontal Diseases?

Periodontal diseases (PD) are complex, multifactorial disorders. Effective daily plaque control promotes gingival/periodontal health. Recent meta-analyses and other reviews have found inconclusive evidence to support that tooth flossing promotes gingival/periodontal health. Ideally, the claim should have been that, “at present, we do not have high-quality evidence from well-designed randomized clinical trials (RCTs) to determine whether flossing lowers the risk for periodontal diseases.” Rather than “not proven to be effective,” the lay public may now think that flossing is “almost entirely unhelpful and/or unnecessary.” How does the dental community communicate the nuances of this topic? Herein, we examine the key structural issues underlying this area of research. We assert that effective flossing between specific teeth can promote gingival/periodontal health. Further, we explore the nuances of for whom this may be true and untrue, why our evidence is lacking and what can be done to clarify the effectiveness of flossing on clinical outcomes.
