Abstract

Abstract: The National Study of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) 2017–18 aimed to collect data on population oral health status of the Australian adult population. This complex nation‐wide project required reliable data collection procedures. The NSAOH 2017–18 Oral Epidemiological Examination Protocol has been developed based on internationally accepted examination procedures. Examiners have been trained and calibrated in using the protocol. Details of the clinical examination components are provided. Examiner reliability has been tested and presented.
