title: [Dental survey (Leot-project): aims, sampling and participation].
abstract: In 1986 a nationwide dental survey was carried out in the Netherlands. Aims of the study were to assess the prevalence of dental diseases, needs and demands for care and dental behavior in the Dutch adult population aged 15 years and more. The paper describes sampling procedures, stratification factors and field organization of the study. As a result, representative (baseline) data of prevalence and need for care of dental diseases are now available. Those data will be published in a number of separate papers in this journal.
