Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Health Economics
  • Dental Public Health

Background:

  • Mandibular third molar surgery is a common procedure.
  • Understanding the full economic impact, including societal costs, is essential for healthcare planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the direct and indirect costs associated with mandibular third molar surgery.
  • To analyze costs from both a dental care and a societal perspective.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective cost analysis involving 64 patients from three Swedish specialist clinics.
  • Inclusion of direct costs (labor, materials, services) and indirect costs (patient absence, transportation) identified via surveys.

Main Results:

  • The average direct cost of surgery was €217 per patient.
  • Including indirect costs (patient absence, transportation) increased the total average cost to €550 per patient.
  • Approximately 86% of patients reported some period of absence from work post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Indirect costs, primarily patient time lost, were higher than direct surgical costs.
  • Appropriate patient selection and surgical indications can reduce complications and associated individual and societal economic burdens.
