Objectives If economic evaluations are to be used by decision makers, such evidence has to be robust so that the relevant policy maker use them. This study was undertaken with the purpose of identifying economic evaluations done on oral health preventive programs and to assess the standard of economic evidence in this field. Methods A systematic search was conducted using four major electronic databases in order to search for economic evaluations done on oral health preventive programs. This included economic evaluations that were published between January 1975 and May 2018 on preventive interventions for periodontal disease, oral cancer screening, and other common oral health conditions. To avoid duplications with previous studies, for dental caries interventions, this review included studies from April 2012 and May 2018. “Guidance to undertaking reviews in health care,” developed by York University, was used to assess the quality of reporting in the evaluations, using which strengths and shortcomings were identified. Results A total of 2026 records were initially found. After title and abstract screening, and elimination by full text review, 33 relevant economic evaluations were identified. Majority of the economic evaluations included were conducted on dental caries prevention; a few were done on oral cancer screening, periodontal disease, and general preventive dentistry (health promotion, oral hygiene etc.). Conclusions In comparison to the findings observed in previous reviews, there has been improvements in the quality of reporting in economic evaluations. Several areas still in need for improve were identified (e.g., productivity costs, currency and prices, and generalizability issues).

“…A second study used a Markov model to simulate disease progression and cost impact over a period of 9 years. 240 Both disease progression and sealant failure probabilities were derived from the literature, and 2 scenarios were tested based on the probability of replacing a failed sealant. In the scenario where 100% of failed sealants were replaced, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $156.87 per first episode of caries lesion averted.…”

“…A second article made a similar cost comparison of pit and fissure sealants to fluoride varnish but modeled the simulated progression of caries over a 9-year period. 297 This model found that pit and fissure sealants were less expensive and more effective than fluoride varnish in preventing occlusal lesions. The incremental costeffectiveness ratio for sealants was $156.87 per first lesion averted when the assumption was made that 100% of sealants placed would require replacement at some time over the 9 years.…”

In 2017, professional literature germane to the clinical practice of prosthodontics was published at an astounding rate. The annual content of over 50 professional journals was searched in its entirety to arrive at this review intended to provide readers with a general clinical update. For convenience, prosthodontics has been divided into 8 subtopics: general prosthodontic considerations, conventional removable complete prosthodontics, conventional removable partial prosthodontics, conventional fixed prosthodontics, general implant prosthodontic considerations, implant removable prosthodontics, implant-fixed prosthodontics, and prosthodontic materials. In addition to the articles selected for review, a sizable volume of excellent general reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and helpful clinical descriptive materials were also published on topics of prosthodontic interest. Although it would be impractical to provide detailed comments on this voluminous additional material, it is listed here for the reader's convenience: clinical processes, 1-7 anatomy and physiology, 8-20 biomechanics, 21 bruxism, 22-25 conventional complete dentures, 26-28 conventional fixed prosthodontics, 29-33 conventional removable partial prosthodontics, 34-36 diagnosis, 37-43 digital dentistry, 44-47

Cost‐effectiveness analysis of two caries prevention methods in the first permanent molar in children

Abstract: PFS should be the preferred method for the prevention of dental caries lesion on the occlusal surface of the first permanent molar, especially in children who are at high risk and have barriers of access to dental care.
