Title: Caring for oral health in Australian residential care
Publisher: Australian Institute for Health & Welfare (AIHW)
Synopsis: Within the increasing older Australian population, there is a significant group at very high risk for developing complex oral diseases and dental problems—institutionalised older adults in Australian residential care facilities. There are abundant general health, functional, cognitive, social and financial problems among this group of high-risk older adults. These problems are associated not only with their development of oral diseases, such as dental caries, but with the many barriers they encounter to accessing adequate dental care. In the Australian residential aged care community, it is the carers who play an essential role in the delivery of oral hygiene care and the maintenance of residents’ oral health.

Title: Child Dental Health Survey Australia 2007 - 30 Year Trends
Publisher: Australian Institute for Health & Welfare (AIHW)
Synopsis: The Child Dental Health Survey provides national information on the dental health of children attending school dental services in Australia, and shows that decay is relatively common in Australian children. This publication describes trends in oral health of Australian children between 1989 and 2007. Over this period, caries has declined markedly in the permanent teeth of children aged 12, but declined far less in the deciduous teeth of children aged 6.

Title: Commonwealth Dental Health Program Evaluation Report 1994-1996
Publisher: Australian Institute for Health & Welfare (AIHW)
Synopsis: This Report provides findings from the Evaluation Project for the Commonwealth Dental Health Program (CDHP). At the initiation of the CDHP a series of data collections were put in place that would generate a series of population and patient indicators of access and availability, barriers, use of services, health status and appropriateness of care. Baseline estimates for these indicators were published in the Commonwealth Dental Health Program Baseline Evaluation Report 1994. In the following 24 months these indicators were updated. The purpose of this Report is to document the change in the indicators over the 24 month period.

Title: Dental health differences between boys and girls: The Child Dental Health Survey, Australia 2000
Publisher: Australian Institute for Health & Welfare (AIHW)
Synopsis: This publication by the AIHW Dental Statistics and Research Unit presents the results of The Child Dental Health Survey 2000 and examines the differences in oral health between boys and girls. The findings show that caries experience differs for boys and girls and that these differences cannot be entirely accounted for by differences in the number of teeth present.
