Table 4.
Cost-Utility-Analysis AND Cost-Benefit Analysis (5-year).
| Cost Utility | Cost-Benefit | ||||||
| Tooth | Treatment Option | Treatment cost ($CND) | EUV (utile) | QATYβ (utile-yr) | Cost: Utilityβ (CND$ per utile-yr of tooth survival) | Expected Benefit Value (CDN$) | Cost: Benefitβ ($ paid per dollar of benefit received) |
| Molar | CC | 2,200 | 63.87 | 319.35 | 6.90 | 1,528.46 | 1.44 |
| STI | 3,600 | 74.75 | 378.75 | 9.51 | 1,780.07 | 2.02 | |
| CDBγ | 2,620 | 71.47 | 357.35 | 7.73 | 1,505.20 | 1.74 | |
| RPD | 950 | 49.31 | 246.55 | 3.85 | 1,028.32 | 0.92 | |
| Incisor | CC | 2,000 | 75.91 | 379.55 | 5.27 | 2,189.28 | 0.91 |
| STI | 3,600 | 86.24 | 431.20 | 8.35 | 2,391.76 | 1.51 | |
| CDBγ | 2,608 | 84.91 | 424.55 | 6.13 | 2,199.10 | 1.19 | |
| RPD | 950 | 69.33 | 346.65 | 2.74 | 1,590.49 | 0.60 | |
β-QATY = EUV × 5 years. Cost:Utility = Treatment cost/QATY, Cost:Benefit = Treatment cost/Expected Benefit Value.
γ – These cost of CDB option takes into account the 2.4% risk that one of the abutment teeth will incur the cost of root canal therapy in the future.
