The guidelines presented here are based on pre-existing recommendations or publications and were drawn up using a methodology developed by the HAS (the French national health authority) in collaboration with the French Dental Association. New guidelines will be made available on line as soon as they are adopted.

The first three sets already available, and a fourth one – "Shared Medical Files in Dentistry" – currently under preparation, will provide the framework for a Professional Practice Assessment pilot project to be implemented soon in a chosen region of France.

These guidelines cover more restricted fields of dental practice than the Recommendations downloadable in the Quality Approach section, and can be used by dental practitioners as additional self-evaluation tools.
