The phenomenon of "coaching" in dentistry is a fundamentally new direction of medical science and practice. Coach ing differs from counseling by motivation orientation. From the standpoint of coaching the doctor's art is to awaken the patient's interest to his health, to increase the level of his motivation when a person assumes responsibility for the outcome of the treatment and the level of health even for a short appointment. With the help of a specially modified coaching method, increasing of motivation to treatment and prevention of periodontal disease in 115 patients is conducted. In the controlling group (105 people) treatment is accompanied by tra ditional counseling including motivation for a healthy lifestyle, teaching the standard method of cleaning teeth and infor mation on plans and predictable treatment results. It has been found that the level of dental motivation is sensitive to the applied techniques of formation. In the observ ing group, where the technique of coaching is applied, there is a significant migration of patients from the number of less "motivated" to more "motivated" Obtained results make possible to recommend the introduction of coaching techniques into the work of periodontal centers and specialized units in order to increase motivation of patients to prevention and treatment of periodontal dis eases.
