Subsidised dental services delivered during the 13\u2010week period subsequent to the provision of one of three eligible dental examinations (extended, basic, or recall examination) during the first 9 months of 2019 were investigated. Bayesian multilevel regression models were used to estimate the practice\u2010level average predicted probability of supragingival care, subgingival care, individual prevention, bitewing radiographs, and endodontic treatment, and the average predicted count of extractions and direct restorations while adjusting for individual sociodemographics and dental treatments received during the previous 10\u2009years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The final sample included 445\u2009516 examinations conducted in 1593 dental practices. Supragingival care after basic or recall examinations showed the lowest practice\u2010level variation, with around two\u2010fold difference between top and bottom 2.5%. Individual preventive services after recall examinations showed the highest variation with over 30\u2010fold difference between top and bottom 2.5%. All other outcomes showed around 3\u2010 to 8\u2010fold differences between practices at top and bottom 2.5% across all examination types. The differences across practices were smaller\u20141.2\u2010 to 3.0\u2010fold\u2014when the top 25% and bottom 25% were compared instead.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study found considerable variation in diagnostic, preventive, and treatment services provided for Danish adults who underwent a dental examination.
