Author: Brennan, D.; Luzzi, L.; Chrisopoulos, S.
Abstract: This chapter evaluates trends in oral health and use of dental services in the Australian population over a 30-year period. The trends are based on comparisons of data from three Australian surveys of adult oral health. These sources comprise the National Oral Health Survey of Australia 1987–88, the National Survey of Adult Oral Health from 2004–06 and the National Study of Adult Oral Health 2017–18.2019-01-01T00:00:00ZStudy aims and methodsChrisopoulos, S.Ellershaw, A.Do, L.Luzzi, L.http://hdl.handle.net/2440/1243052020-04-22T23:02:41Z2019-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Study aims and methods

Abstract: Several approaches are used to describe access to dental care among populations. While the most common approaches are focussed on the last dental visit, how long ago it occurred, and the place of the visit, there is also a strong interest in capturing a longer-term view of people’s access to dental care. Another approach asks people about their usual pattern of visits to a dentist. This section uses both approaches, and additionally describes people's experience of financial barriers in obtaining dental care.2019-01-01T00:00:00ZOral health perceptionsBrennan, D.Luzzi, L.Ellershaw, A.De Anselmo Peres, M.http://hdl.handle.net/2440/1242642020-05-20T02:17:02Z2019-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Oral health perceptions

Abstract: Oral health examination surveys measure visible signs of oral disease and its treatment, providing indicators of impairment. Yet, there are many aspects of oral health that cannot be assessed systematically during a standardised oral epidemiological examination, including pain, function and quality of life (Slade & Sanders 2003). This chapter adds to the examination findings presented in Chapter 4 by describing rates of pain and difficulty eating due to oral problems. In addition, perceived needs for the most common dental treatments are presented to provide an additional indicator of subjective oral health in the Australian adult population.2019-01-01T00:00:00Z
