Oral Health Country/Area Profiles

For each country, available data and information is provided on oral diseases such as caries, periodontal disease and oral mucosal diseases and oral health manpower, dental education, oral health insurance and information relevant to oral health care.

Bank of Ideas

Different types of oral health programs that actually have been implemented worldwide are presented. The Bank of Ideas will hopefully inspire health planners around the world to develop programs that would fulfill their need.

Oral Health Country/Area Profile Project

The CAPP database is established in support of the WHO Global Oral Health Programme for oral health surveillance. According to WHO recommendation, a standardized reporting system is used; data are presented by standard age groups to provide for inter- and intra-country comparisons of oral health status. CAPP pages review essential risks to oral health and include a Bank of Ideas on oral health programmes in different countries and regions.
