Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review examines the current literature on the importance and role of communication skills of the clinician for patient motivation. Moreover, methods for teaching communication skills to the dental students are discussed.

Recent Findings

Good relationship between the clinician and the patient is essential for not only establishing mutual trust and satisfaction but also obtaining better clinical outcomes from the periodontal treatment.

Summary

Competency in communication skills for dental practitioners can be gained within the dental curriculum, and this will provide more sustainable benefits from the periodontal treatment. There is a clear need for development of specific models for gaining good communication skills within the context of periodontal treatment, and such models are to be implemented in the dental curriculum.
