Abstract

This paper reviews current knowledge about improving chairside dental health education for adults. It places this knowledge within a general context of change in clinical ideas about appropriate treatment and of evidence about the current practice of oral health education for adults. The acronym SPERMAID is proposed as a summary of the principles to be followed in the motivation of the adult patient.
