Cost-effectiveness of Treating Severe Childhood Caries under General Anesthesia versus Conscious Sedation.

Published in: JDR clinical and translational research (2018)

Medicaid policy makers can use the results of this study to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of dental treatment for young children with S-ECC at 2 time points: 2011 and 2015. Compared with CS, GA resulted in a longer amount of time during which children were free from dental caries but at a higher cost. The cost difference rose from 2011 to 2015.
