The National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR) has a requirement for

the design and implementation of a nationwide oral epidemiologic survey

of U.S. schoolchildren, grades K through 12.  The survey will provide

the database for a historical analysis of trends in dental caries and

other oral health characteristics of U.S. schoolchildren.  It will

provide, for the first time, statistically reliable estimates of the

oral health of Black and Hispanic schoolchildren in the United States.

The objectives of this survey are to:  (1) assess the relative

frequency and sociodemographic distribution of certain oral diseases

and disorders in U.S. schoolchildren, (2) over-sample selected minority

schoolchildren to provide statistically reliable baseline national

estimates of oral health for Black non-Hispanic and Hispanic

schoolchildren, and (3) provide the database for the late nineties,

needed to evaluate shorter- and longer-term trends in coronal caries

and certain other oral diseases and disorders.
