This study calculates the total lifetime cost of periodontal treatment in the setting of a specialist periodontal practice and investigates the cost implications of choosing not to proceed with such treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Data from patients treated in a specialist practice in Norway were used to calculate the total lifetime cost of periodontal treatment that included baseline periodontal treatment, regular maintenance, retreatment, and replacing teeth lost during maintenance. Incremental costs for alternative strategies based on opting to forego periodontal treatment or maintenance and to replace any teeth lost with either bridgework or implants were calculated.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Patients who completed baseline periodontal treatment but did not have any additional maintenance or retreatment could replace only three teeth with bridgework or two teeth with implants before the cost of replacing additional teeth would exceed the cost of lifetime periodontal treatment. Patients who did not have any periodontal treatment could replace \u22644 teeth with bridgework or implants before a replacement strategy became more expensive.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Within the limits of the assumptions made, periodontal treatment in a Norwegian specialist periodontal practice is cost\u2010effective when compared to an approach that relies on opting to replace teeth lost as a result of progressive periodontitis with fixed restorations. In particular, patients who have initial comprehensive periodontal treatment but do not subsequently comply with maintenance could, on average, replace \u22643 teeth with bridgework or two teeth with implants before this approach would exceed the direct cost of lifetime periodontal treatment in the setting of the specialist practice studied.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2012.110689","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,13]],"date-time":"2012-03-13T11:59:53Z","timestamp":1331639993000},"page":"1455-1462","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["The Lifetime Direct Cost of Periodontal Treatment: A Case Study From a Norwegian Specialist Practice"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"\u00d8ystein","family":"Fardal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ciaran","family":"O'Neill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Per","family":"Gjermo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Fardal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leiv","family":"Sandvik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.
