Original Title: 우리나라 보철치료의 현황 및 단일치아 상실에서의 임플란트 보철 치료와 브릿지의 경제성 평가

Authors' recommendations: The results of a 10-year period model showed that dental implants cost (Ed note: 'dental implants cost' or 'dental implant costs') $251 (clinic) to $325 (hospital) more than 3-unit bridge with higher survival rates by 10.4%. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $2,414 (clinic) – $3,126 (hospital) per a preserved prosthesis for 10 years. The sensitivity analysis showed that the initial treatment cost changed the results of cost-effectiveness. Under 85% of the current cost of a dental implant, the single tooth implant becomes the dominant strategy. Although the economic evaluation of this study had a limitation that did not consider all aspects of a single-tooth implant or bridge, such as satisfaction, this study would be useful as one of the evidences in choosing the treatment option in patients with a single tooth loss.
