The lead article in the 2/2013 issue of the International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants is a report by Vogel, Smith-Palmer and Valentine entitled “Evaluating the Health Economic Implications and Cost-Effectiveness of Dental Implants: A Literature Review”

In this article, the authors review the available literature on the costs and cost-effectiveness of dental implant-supported or -retained prostheses versus tooth-supported fixed partial denture restorations or mucosa-borne conventional complete or partial dentures. Their findings indicate that for single-tooth replacement, a single implant was a cost-effective treatment option in comparison with a traditional three-unit fixed dental prosthesis. For the replacement of multiple teeth, dental implants (fixed or removable prostheses) were associated with higher initial costs but better improvements in oral health–related quality of life compared with other treatment options.
