Denture service use in a selected population in a prepaid dental program
JF Field
Rates of use of dental services for a large population of employees enrolled in a prepayment plan were examined. During a three-year period, the number of complete denture services that were provided declined steadily. Also, the number of simple and surgical extractions decreased, and there was an increase in the rate of use of periodontic and endodontic services.
