Abstract:
Care pathways, along with motivational interviewing techniques and self-care plans, can encourage patients to take ownership of their oral health. With a move to the use of self-care plans in the NHS service re-design, this article discusses their applications so far as well as the dental team's role in their implementationKeywords:

Statutory registration for dental nurses is almost here. The General Dental Council (GDC) expects to start registering dental nurses, and other new groups of dental care professionals (DCPs), in July 2006. For patients, this will bring the assurance that all the people directly involved in their clinical dental care are regulated and bound by professional standards. For the DCP groups registering with the GDC for the first time, it will bring greater recognition of their important contribution to dentistry and more opportunity to develop their skills.

There has been little contemporary published evidence concerning the current and future dental care professional (DCP) (and, in particular, dental nurses) workforce alone. This article will discuss some of the implications for dental nurses from the findings of the contemporary research

Motivational Interviewing has been demonstrated to be effective for a wide range of health behaviors. It is an effective behavior change method, which can be utilized in the dental practice setting. It can be used as a brief intervention to increase motivation to improve patients’ oral hygiene behaviors as well as providing a framework for delivering diet, smoking cessation, oral health changes, and alcohol advice. It involves four processes: engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning, guiding, which supports the patient towards a positive behavior change. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, patient-centered approach evoking the patient’s own motivation to change, thereby enhancing the relationship between the clinician and patient and improving patient outcomes. This review will provide an overview on the topic for dental professionals as well as helpful suggestions for supporting a positive behavior change in their dental practices.

Motivational interviewing offers health care professionals a potentially effective strategy for increasing a patient's readiness to change health behaviors. Recently, elements of motivational interviewing and the stages of change model have been simplified and adapted for use with patients in brief clinical encounters. This paper describes in detail a brief motivational intervention model to improve and renew dietary adherence with adolescents in the Dietary Intervention Study in Children (DISC). DISC is a randomized, multi-center clinical trial assessing the efficacy and safety of lowering dietary fat to decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in high-risk children. In the first 3 years of follow-up covering ages 8–13, intervention participants (n = 334) were exposed to a family-based group intervention approach to change dietary choices. To address adherence and retention obstacles as participants moved into adolescence (age 13–17), an individual-level motivational intervention was implemented. The DISC motivational intervention integrates several intervention models: stages of change, motivational interviewing, brief negotiation and behavioral self-management. A preliminary test of the intervention model suggests that it was acceptable to the participants, popular with interventionists and appeared to be an age-appropriate shift from a family-based intervention model.

Intensive dental care is needed when cleaning dental implants. Patients must be aware of the appropriate methods of brushing to achieve excellent dental hygiene. Proper use of dental floss will aid the dental care of the implants and avoid damage that may be caused through other methods.
