Area of Science:

  • Dental Science
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • Clinical effectiveness of prosthodontic interventions is established.
  • Economic analyses are needed to determine the relative value of dental treatments.
  • Current research highlights the need for enhanced economic analysis in prosthodontics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for comparative economic analyses in prosthodontics.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering multidimensional benefits and costs.
  • To explore the societal effectiveness of implant-supported prostheses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, and cost-utility analyses.
  • Consideration of initial and maintenance costs versus multidimensional outcomes.
  • Long-term, multidimensional comparative economic analyses.

Main Results:

  • Economic analysis can aid decision-making for clinicians and patients.
  • Implant-supported prostheses are not yet societally effective due to economic barriers.
  • Comparative economic analyses of overdentures and conventional dentures are essential.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced economic analysis in prosthodontics can improve treatment value assessment.
  • Addressing economic accessibility is key to achieving societal effectiveness for advanced dental prostheses.
  • Further research into long-term economic impacts may expand access to implant-supported dentures.
