This supplement contains papers presented at the 2006 International Association of Dental Research (IADR) symposium entitled “Development of Self‐Reported Measures for Population‐Based Surveillance of Periodontitis.” These papers highlight activities of an independent periodontal disease surveillance workgroup convened by the Division of Oral Health (DOH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in collaboration with the American Academy of Periodontology, to examine the feasibility of using self‐reported measures for population‐based surveillance of periodontal disease in the United States. This workgroup was convened in 2003 as part of a CDC periodontal disease surveillance project.
