Area of Science:

  • Dental Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Equitable access to primary dental care remains a challenge.
  • Current dental booking systems may not adequately address patient needs or prioritize care effectively.
  • Resource allocation in dental services requires optimized frameworks for fairness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate face validity of a novel resource allocation framework for dental booking systems.
  • To maximize equity in the allocation of dental care resources.
  • To establish a framework that promotes equitable access to primary dental services.

Main Methods:

  • A three-round consensus group technique was employed with eleven primary dental care experts in Southern Brazil in 2014.
  • Experts identified 21 clinical conditions and categorized them by required oral health intervention.
  • Workload standards and wait times (2-365 days) were defined based on diagnostic classification.

Main Results:

  • A 5-level diagnostic scale was developed for clinical conditions.
  • Workload and activity standards were established for various dental care activities.
  • Maximum wait times were defined, ranging from 2 to 365 days, linked to diagnostic categories.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework shows potential for promoting equitable access to primary dental services.
  • Equal diagnostic classifications are assigned the same waiting times, ensuring fairness in care delivery.
  • This approach can help mitigate disparities in accessing timely dental treatment.
