This study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of repairing versus replacing composite or amalgam restorations.\r\nMethods: A mixed public-private-payer perspective from the German healthcare setting was adopted. A permanent molar with a three-surfaced partially defective composite or amalgam restoration in need of repair or replacement was modelled. Risks of complications after repair or complete replacement were derived by a rapid systematic literature review. The health outcome measure was tooth retention years. Costs were estimated from the German public and private fee catalogues. Monte-Carlo microsimulations were performed and incremental-cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were used to express cost differences per gain or loss of effectiveness.\r\nResults: Compared with complete composite replacement, composite repairs were marginally more costly and more effective (€326 versus €321; 24.7 versus 24.0 years; ICER: €7.14). Amalgam repairs were more costly and more effective than complete replacement (€467 versus €326; 24.3 versus 23.7 years; ICER: €235). If composite repair costs were €<67 or complete replacement costs €>166, composite repair was always cost-effective. This was not the case for amalgam repair. The size of the restoration, the reason for repair/replacement, and patients' age were found to influence the cost-effectiveness.\r\nConclusions: Repair was found to be more effective, but not necessarily less costly than complete replacement of restorations.\r\nClinical significance: Repairing instead of replacing partially defective restorations is likely to retain teeth for longer compared with complete replacement. When considering cost-effectiveness, repairing composite can be recommended more strongly than repairing amalgam restorations."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.jdent.2016.08.008"],["dc.identifier.isi","000386677200005"],["dc.identifier.pmid","27575986"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/65704"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/39122"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.eissn","0300-5712"],["dc.relation.issn","1879-176X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Poliklinik für Präventive Zahnmedizin, Parodontologie und Kariologie"],["dc.subject.gro","Decision-making"],["dc.subject.gro","Economic evaluation"],["dc.subject.gro","Mathematical modelling"],["dc.subject.gro","Minimally invasive dentistry"],["dc.subject.gro","Restoration repair"],["dc.subject.gro","Restorative dentistry"],["dc.title","Cost-effectiveness of repairing versus replacing composite or amalgam restorations"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

During follow-up, repaired and replaced restorations were assessed and mean annual failure rates (mAFR) calculated. Outcome was considered in three levels: Success (no further intervention), survival 1 (first repair=survival, second repair=failure) and survival 2 (more than one repair=survival, all surfaces repaired=failure).

We aimed to assess the long-term treatment costs of repairs and replacements.\r\nMethods: Partially defective anterior and posterior composite restorations in permanent teeth had been repaired or replaced in a German university hospital and were retrospectively followed until censoring or one of the following events: (1) Extraction, (2) Major complications including placement of indirect restorations, endodontic treatments and extractions, or (3) Any complications including major complications and further direct restorations. Costs were estimated from a German mixed public-private-payer perspective. Cost-effectiveness differences were described using median-based incremental-cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERMEDIAN). Statistical analysis was performed using generalized linear mixed modeling (GLM), Chi2-test, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test (p < 0.05).\r\nResults: A total of 616 repairs in 468 patients (follow-up: 4.9 ± 4.1 years) and 264 replacements in 218 patients (follow-up: 4.8 ± 4.3) were included. While replacements were associated with higher initial treatment costs, median annualized treatment costs did not significantly differ between repair (47.58 Euro [IQR: 24.41-107.04]) and replacement (50.64 Euro [IQR: 26.30-118.78]; p > 0.05), but were higher for molars (75.53 Euro [IQR: 24.41-92.18]) than incisors (45.03 Euro [IQR: 28.19-168.50]; p = 0.011). The difference in the % of extractions, major and any complications were minimal between both groups.
