Costs of periodontal and prosthodontic treatment and evaluation of oral health in patients after treatment of advanced periodontal disease.

Retrospective estimations of dental care costs of periodontal and prosthodontic treatment and evaluation of oral health in 37 patients with advanced periodontal disease were carried out. Measures of their subjective evaluation of oral health 7-10 yr after the treatment are presented as a health profile and as indices in single numbers. The relations between oral health as an index and the dimensions in the health profile are analyzed. Dental care costs for treatment in the mandible was SEK 35 550, for the maxilla SEK 45 380 and for both jaws SEK 74 230. After the treatment oral health as well as general health were in excess of 75 on a 0 to 100 scale. Chewing ability, comfort and aesthetics were the variables found to significantly affect the subjective oral health. Oral health in terms of periodontal and prosthodontic conditions was maintained over the observation period.[1]
