Abstract [en]

Aim: To investigate the fees for root filling and further dental care charged by Swedish dentists during a follow-up period of 10 to 11 years. Comparisons are made between type of restoration registered within 6 months of the root filling, the tooth group, and the root filled teeth that survived versus those that were extracted.Methods: A total of 215 611 teeth were registered as root filled in the Swedish Social Insurance Agency’s data register in 2009. For each identified tooth, the fees for the following interventions were tracked: initial root filling, coronal restorations, and further dental interventions registered during the follow-up period. The outcomes were analysed with descriptive and analytic statistics, using one-way ANOVA and t-tests. The fees are presented in Euro (€1 = SEK 8.94; 01/01/2012).Results: The total fee for the root fillings was 72 million euros, and the mean fee was €333.6 per root filling. The total mean fee for the preservation of a root filled tooth over 10 to 11 years was €923.4, which included root canal treatment, coronal restorations, and further interventions. The mean fee for indirectly restored root filled teeth was higher (€1 279.3) than for those directly restored (€829.4) and for teeth without specified restorations (€832.7; P < 0.001). Molars had a significantly higher mean fee (€966.4) compared to premolars (€882.8) and anterior teeth (€891.3; P < 0.001). The mean fee for teeth that were extracted was higher (€1 225.3) than for those that survived the follow-up (€848.0; P < 0.001). Conclusions: Fees for root filled teeth have accumulated over time probably due to further dental care needed. The total mean fee was significantly higher for indirectly restored root filled teeth than for directly restored. However, prospective clinical cost-effectiveness studies are needed to analyse the total costs.
