[Economic aspects of use of alternative dental alloys].

A cost calculation for different types of dental alloys was carried through all stages of production. Recycling and scrap material values were included. Results showed that over an estimated 20 years of usage, the higher annual cost for bridges cast with a high gold alloy in relation to those with lower gold content alloys is not that significant that from the patients point of view the lower alloys should the choice. Due to the system of health insurance, this cost calculation from the production point of view looks different for the organizations that are reimbursing the patient for his expenses, as these organizations are not entitled to the scrap value of old restorations.

Economic growth in the U.S. dental industry, 1950-1977.

This paper addresses the issue of economic growth in the U.S. dental industry. The rates of growth in real output in the dental industry and in the U.S. economy are compared for the period 1950-1977. The annual dental rate of 4.5 percent is significantly greater (P .001) than the 3.7 percent rate for the economy. In addition, inflation has been less in dentistry than in the economy. The consequences of growth of the dental industry are also discussed.

Economic appraisal of preventive dental techniques.

In this paper the principles and particular problems involved in applying economic appraisal to the evaluation of preventive dental care are investigated. There is no cost benefit analysis in the existing literature which gives a reliable indication of the relative efficiency of preventive and restorative dental techniques. This is because of difficulties involved in trying to attach monetary values to the benefits of programmes which are publicly provided. These difficulties are not resolved by representing the benefits of prevention by restorative costs averted. Although cost effectiveness analysis may seem a more straightforward method, it suffers from the inappropriateness of the dmft (or dmfs) statistic for measuring the relative effectiveness of restorative and preventive treatments. An alternative measure of dental health outcome is suggested which encompasses aspects of the quantity (in life years) and quality of teeth produced by restorative and preventive care. The full potential of economic appraisal of preventive dentistry will be realised only if such comprehensive measures of dental health outcome are produced. The task of producing such measures should involve dentists, consumers of dental care and health care researchers.
