Abstract:

This study aimed to estimate cost and compatibility with public financial incentivesof two technologies for treatingthe edentulous mandible: lower complete dentures (CD) and overdentures retained by two dental implants (OD). Methods: This study consisted of a partial economic evaluation, with a micro-costing bottom-up approach for the calculation of direct costs. The estimates involved the number of consultations, proportion of materials, equipment, instruments’ lifetime, and human resources, described in the price panel website of the Ministry of Economyin Brazil. Complementary information was obtaineda panel of experts. A sensitivity analysis was based on 20% variation. Results: The estimated costs of a CD was R$ 189.89(base scenario), and this varied between R$ 151.91 and R$ 227.89 according to sensibility analysis. The costs of an OD wereR$ 663.05 (rangingR$ 795.66 to R$ 530.44 – 1US= R$ 3.80/July 2019). The Ministry of Health covers appropriately the costs of the CD and OD.Conclusion:Both technologies showed costs that are within the limits of financial public incentives obtained by municipalities.The technologiesare economically viable and should be induced through public policies due to their positive impacts on several functional domains of health.
