Reimbursement systems influence prosthodontic treatment of adult patients

Abstract

Irrespective of service provider, private or public, financial incentive such as the reimbursement system may influence the provision of prosthodontic treatment, in terms of volume of treatment.

Normative prosthodontic care need: does it impact the daily life of young Saudis with high level of oral diseases? A cross sectional study

“…Insurance may have greater impact in privately financed health care systems through alleviating the problem of cost [ 31 ]. Our finding disagrees with Davidson et al who reported an increase in the volume of prosthodontic treatment delivered to Swedes younger than 65 years when the reimbursement system was changed to cover these services [ 32 ].…”

A retro‐prospective effectiveness study on 3448 implant operations at one referral clinic: A multifactorial analysis. Part I: Clinical factors associated to early implant failures

“…It has earlier been shown that the economic reimbursement system has a significant impact on restorative treatment choices in populations . This can here clearly be shown in age distribution with free dental care below the age of 20 and increased economic support from the Swedish Insurance System for dental care above 64 years of age in the present clinic (Figure ) . Thus, the reimbursement system has resulted into a proportion of more single implant treatments in young age groups and overall more implant treatment in the elderly population in the present clinic (Figure ).…”

“…It can be observed 2 clear peaks of numbers of patients in the present group of patients, one at the age of 19 years and another at 66 years (Figure ). It has earlier been shown that the economic reimbursement system has a significant impact on restorative treatment choices in populations . This can here clearly be shown in age distribution with free dental care below the age of 20 and increased economic support from the Swedish Insurance System for dental care above 64 years of age in the present clinic (Figure ) .…”

“…28 This can here clearly be shown in age distribution with free dental care below the age of 20 and increased economic support from the Swedish Insurance System for dental care above 64 years of age in the present clinic ( Figure 1). 28 Thus, the reimbursement system has resulted into a proportion of more single implant treatments in young age groups and overall more implant treatment in the elderly population in the present clinic (Figure 1). Results from another clinic in France have recently indicated higher risk for early inflammation in age groups at the age of 50 to 55 years at surgery, 21 also presenting higher risk for late implant failures in these patients with early inflammation.…”

A fogászati ellátás finanszírozása Németországban, az Egyesült Királyságban, Magyarországon és Lengyelországban

“…A fogászati ellátásra fordított összeg szinte minden országban folyamatosan növekszik, de a finanszírozási formákban jelentős különbségek mutatkoznak [8][9][10][11].…”
