These models emphasize the importance of capability, motivation, and opportunities in shaping human behavior. They serve as frameworks for oral care professionals to help patients improve their oral hygiene practices.

are modelled based on capability, motivation and opportunities. It allows oral care
professionals to build on what patients already do, and take it one step further.
