Abstract

The aim of this Evidence Check rapid review—funded by the Victorian Department of Health and commissioned by the Dental Health Services Victoria—is to synthesise the evidence for the effectiveness of oral health promotion interventions in the Australian population. It contains 46 reviews published between 2012 and 2021 that included studies conducted in Australia and other countries and jurisdictions with comparable health systems to Victoria and Australia, i.e. the UK, New Zealand, Canada and the US.
