**International dental SNOMED CT implementations — share your experience**

We are building a community repository of dental SNOMED CT implementations from across the globe. Whether your organisation has adopted general SNOMED CT usage in a clinical system or developed a dedicated dental refset, we want to hear from you.

The goal is to create a practical, freely accessible resource that helps countries and organisations at the start of their implementation journey — learning from real-world experience.

> Please post a reply below covering the following three points:
> 
> 1. Where the implementation has taken place
> 
> Country, region, organisation type (e.g. national programme, hospital system, dental school, health authority), and approximate scale of deployment.
> 
> 2. Barriers encountered during implementation
> 
> Any technical, organisational, clinical, or political barriers you faced. What made the implementation harder than expected, and how (if at all) were those barriers overcome?
> 
> 3. How SNOMED CT was implemented — the use case
> 
> A brief description of the clinical or administrative use case. For example: diagnosis recording, charting, referral letters, research, a national refset, or integration with an electronic dental record (EDR/EPR). What problem did SNOMED CT solve?

Partial implementations welcome. You do not need a complete implementation to contribute. Pilots and works-in-progress are equally valuable — lessons learned at any stage help the wider community.
