Benefit-cost analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis were performed using data informed by the literature and probabilistic sensitivity analysis (Monte Carlo simulation with 1,000 cycles). The pre-determined willingness-to-pay threshold was estimated to be \u00a359,502 per disability-adjusted life year (DALY) averted. Costs (\u00a3) and benefits were valued in 2020 prices. Health benefits in DALYs included dental treatment for dental caries, periodontitis and severe tooth loss.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\n                    The hypothetical cohort of 89 patients costs \u00a311,502 (SD: 488) and \u00a357,118 (SD: 2,784) for the base-scenario and the PDSE programme, respectively. The health outcomes generated 0.9 (SD: 0.2) DALYs averted for the base-case scenario, and 5.4 (SD: 0.9) DALYs averted for the PDSE programme. The DALYs averted generated \u00a326,648 (SD: 4,805) and \u00a3163,910 (SD: 28,542) in benefits for the base-scenario and the PDSE programme, respectively. The calculated incremental benefit-cost ratio was 3.02 (SD: 0.5) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was \u00a310,472 (SD: 2,073) per DALY averted.
