Info

Trøndelag studies in 1994 and 2006 comprised an epidemiological assessment of the periodontal status of the participants by clinical and x-ray examinations (Figure 1). By linking anonymously the Oral Health Trøndelag data of periodontal status to previously registered diabetic status in HUNT I and II the relationship can be longitudinal studied. The data are ready for empirical analyses, but requires a careful linkage of files. Organization and research community The project is organized as a PhD project affiliated at the Dept. of Public Health and General Practice at the Medical Faculty, NTNU. The student is affiliated at the HUNT Research Centre. The major supervisor is Ass. prof. Steinar Krokstad at the HUNT Research Centre, and the first co-supervisor is Prof. Dorthe Holst at the Odontological Faculty, University of Oslo. A supervisor group is established in co-operation with Tannhelsetjenestens kompetansesenter for Midt-Norge IKS. Krokstad and Holst developed a research co-operation in 2004 during planning of HUNT3. Krokstad has as PI of HUNT3 thorough knowledge of methods utilized in HUNT3, expertise in social epidemiology, and a wide research network nationally and internationally. Holst has a long research career in oral epidemiology. Kari Strand and the spesialists in Tannhelsetjenestens kompetansesenter for Midt-Norge IKS ensure relevant clinical competence in the project. Publication of results The papers will be published in international referee based journals.
