National surveys are important tools for public health surveillance and thus key elements in monitoring health conditions and system performance. In the field of oral health, such surveys began with the oral health survey in 1986 and later in 1996 and with the SBBrasil Project in 2003. The 2010 edition of SBBrasil is the principal oral health surveillance strategy for the production of primary data. In order to contribute to this discussion, this article proposes: (a) to present and discuss the Brazilian experience with nationwide oral health surveys and (b) to discuss the use of data in health surveillance models. One can conclude that oral health surveys in Brazil have great possibilities as a tool for health services and academia. Such surveys have shown evident potential for verifying trends in the oral health profile, as well as for producing valid indicators for use in health services.
全国性调查是公共卫生监测的重要工具，因此也是监测健康状况和系统绩效的关键要素。在口腔健康领域，此类调查始于1986年和1996年的口腔健康调查，以及2003年的巴西口腔健康调查（SBBrasil项目）。2010年版的巴西口腔健康调查是生成原始数据的主要口腔健康监测策略。为了促进这一讨论，本文提出：(a) 介绍和讨论巴西全国性口腔健康调查的经验；(b) 讨论健康监测模型中数据的使用。可以得出结论，巴西的口腔健康调查作为一种卫生服务和学术工具具有很大潜力。此类调查已显示出在核实口腔健康状况趋势以及生成用于卫生服务的有效指标方面的明显潜力。
