Experience of the oral health observatory in Colombia
FDI launched the Oral Health Observatory roject in 2014, and Colombia has been a participant since its inception. Through this roject, we have obtained information on oral health habits from the perception of patients, the oral health status of a group of patients, and the clinical environment where care is provided. In this session, we will learn how the OHO roject prompted the development of a National Oral Health Observatory in Colombia, which is being developed by the Colombian Dental Federation. We will explore how their work is being structured, fed with the information from the OHO roject, as well as National Oral Health Surveys and administrative care records, to generate standardized data on the state of oral health at the national level.
