We have started to disseminate the GROESBE guidelines through various channels. The guidelines have been presented in international conferences, including the International Association for Dental Research (IADR) annual conference in New Orleans (USA) and the European Association of Dental Public Health (EADPH) conference in Crete (Greece).
We are also planning a satellite event at the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Oral Health meeting to be held in Bangkok, Thailand. The satellite event will (i) familiarize stakeholders with the recommendations presented in the GROESBE guidelines and (ii) promote the sound reporting of oral health surveys using the GROESBE guidelines.
We welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement from the global oral health community as these guidelines will be updated periodically. During the next years, GROESBE will be translated to different languages. We will also evaluate the impact of implementation of GROESBE on reporting in future incidence and prevalence studies of common oral conditions.
