This report would not have been realized without the help of many individuals and organizations. I would like to take a moment to thank and to acknowledge all those who have provided their time, assistance and experience to the Oral Health Component of the Canadian Health Measures Survey. To begin with, I would like to acknowledge the tireless support provided by the members of the Oral Health Steering Committee who helped craft the survey tools, the examiner manual and the fi nal reports. The survey would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of Dr. Helen Whelton who travelled from.
