title: [From inquiry to interactive communication].
abstract: Three functions of communication are distinguishable in the practice of dentists: the function directly related to the treatment, the function related to 'informed consent' and the preventive function. For these three functions different communication-models are applicable: communication as transfer-of-information, communication as persuasion and communication as interaction. It is argued that the interaction model of communication is the most promising model nowadays.
