Summary
Epidemiological oral health data are essential for informing public health policy and evaluating care. In the Netherlands, OrangeForce and the Oral Health Monitor seek to resume data collection by extracting information from dental practices using both automated (ie, software-based extraction) and manual (ie, user-entered in web-based forms) methods. As the success of these methods depends on cooperation from providers, this study aimed to explore the perspectives of Dutch dentists on collecting oral health data from practices, focussing on automated and manual data collection.
