Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term behavior of dental health insurance use for major oral diseases that require high treatment in children and adolescents.
Methods: The trend of utilization rate was confirmed through data from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort for 2012-2019. It was targeted at children and adolescents with records of using dental health insurance.
The utilization rate of dental health insurance and treatment behavior related to dental caries and periodontal diseases were analyzed.
Results: It was confirmed that the utilization rate of dental health insurance for major oral diseases increased.
When non-reimbursement treatment was applied to health insurance, it tended to increase in use and to be preferred over other treatments. In addition, it was confirmed that adolescents aged 15-19 had a high need to treat periodontal diseases.
Conclusions: As the utilization rate of dental health insurance is gradually increasing, it is necessary to further understand the use of health insurance.
Also the application of dental health insurance for preventive treatment of children and adolescents needs to be expanded.
