Supplement Focuses on Periodontal Disease Surveillance
The American Academy of Peridontology (AAP) has published the papers
presented at the 2006 American Association of Dental Research symposium,
Development of Self-Reported Measures for Surveillance of Periodontitis ib a
July 2007 supplement to the Journal of Periodontology. These papers highlight
activities of an independent periodontal disease surveillance work group
convened by the CDC Division of Oral Health in collaboration with the AAP to
examine using self-reported measures for population-based surveillance of
periodontal disease in the United States.
The supplement provides reports on the background and perspectives on
surveillance of periodontal disease, case definitions for population-based
surveillance of periodontal disease, analytical methods and assessments of
self-report measures for surveillance in multiple datasets, and field-testing of
promising self-report questions.
