This article presents proceedings of the symposium "Measuring and Explaining Change in the Oral Health Status of Older Adults." This meeting formed part of the programme at the 75th Annual Meeting of the International Association of Dental Research in Orlando, Florida in 1997 and was jointly sponsored by the Geriatric Oral Research Group and the Behavioral Sciences and Health Services Research Group. In dental health services research, the change has also been a focus of activity and changes in the oral health of individuals or populations have been assessed in a number of ways.
