Dental Inspections in ScotlandScotland's National Dental Inspection ProgrammeThe National Dental Inspection Programme (NDIP) was established in 2002 following a review by the Chief Dental Officer of the existing schemes and processes related to dental inspection of children at school in Scotland and in accordance with the framework outlined in the NHS Scotland Act 1978 and the Education (Scotland) Act 1980.
Prior to this data was collected under the Scottish Health Boards' Dental Epidemiological Programme (SHBDEP). For this, a series of annual surveys of key age groups of Scottish children was established in 1987 in a joint venture between the Scottish Health Boards and the Dental Health Services Research Unit at the University of Dundee.
