Medical Tourism And Well-Being: Trends and Strategies

This competition, combined with Hungary’s generally low prices, has the expected benefit for patients. A dental implant that would cost from $3,000 to $6,000 in the U.S. goes for as little as $450 in Hungary; the costliest we have heard of was only $1,200. Removing a tooth averages only $50. A root canal that would be up to $900 for a front tooth and $1,400 for a molar average just $99, with front teeth costing as little as $50. For anyone in Europe, it does not take much work to justify the cost of visiting Budapest.
Skin: Resilience
Published in Philip Berry, Necessary Scars, 2021
There is acute nausea. There is mental turmoil. There is self-doubt. There is an unwillingness to do the same procedure again, ever. But there are more patients to be seen. You cannot just opt out. I pressed on. During clinics, on the way home, at unpredictable moments his face and voice intruded. I replayed my actions and my words over and over and again. Then, one of my back teeth fell apart and I had to see a dentist. Diagnosis: root canal. I needed it filled. My second canal. Shit. I made the appointment, lay back, and let the dentist do his thing. With my lips stretched by his latex covered hand, I gazed at the ceiling and thought, ‘You deserve this. You deserve this pain.’ It was a crazy, irrational response. I am no saint or selfless martyr, as I have already demonstrated. But I really did think this, gazing up the bright light. That is the trajectory my mind took. Payback time.
Outcomes of Nonsurgical Retreatment and Endodontic Surgery: A Systematic Review
Published in Niall MH McLeod, Peter A Brennan, 50 Landmark Papers every Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon Should Know, 2020
In the United Kingdom, the Royal College of Surgeons of England indications for surgical endodontics12 are widely used, based upon El-Swiah and Walker's paper.17 These are: Peri-radicular disease associated with a tooth where iatrogenic or developmental anomalies prevent nonsurgical root canal treatment being undertaken.Peri-radicular disease in a root-filled tooth where nonsurgical root canal retreatment cannot be undertaken or has failed, or when it may be detrimental to the retention of the tooth.Where a biopsy of peri-radicular tissue is required.Where visualisation of the peri-radicular tissues and tooth root is required when perforation or root fracture is suspected.Where it may not be expedient to undertake prolonged nonsurgical root canal retreatment because of patient considerations.
Is tooth conservation possible in odontogenic sinusitis? Prospective evaluation of affected teeth condition-based protocol

If the pulp of the affected tooth is necrotic even after ESS, it carries a risk of re-infection and relapse of sinusitis [17,18], and therefore root canal treatment is needed to remove the source of infection. On the other hand, an increasing number of patients with a periapical lesion in ODS receive endodontic treatment [18]. In our study, more than 80% of the patients had previous dental treatment. Many conditions do not respond to canalization owing to errors in the treatment procedure or the presence of a persistent extra- or intraradicular infection. Furthermore, root canal treatment for the molars is more challenging than for other teeth because of the complex anatomical structure of the canals, which increases the risk of improper treatment [19]. For these reasons, even in patients with a previous root canal treatment, periapical lesion may remain, or a new root canal lesion can develop and lead to maxillary sinusitis.
Periapical status transitions in teeth with posts versus without posts: a retrospective longitudinal radiographic study

One possible limitation of this study is the retrospective design with a rather short follow-up time. The European Society of Endodontology suggests a clinical and radiographic follow-up after at least one year [18]. Failures developing after more than one year and so-called late failures are infrequent and only marginally affect overall evaluation of the periapical health in a group of teeth [20,21]. Others have concluded that 6–9 months evaluation appears to be an indicator for the final outcome of primary root canal treatment both in the presence and absence of initial apical periodontitis [22]. The minimum follow-up time in our study was 8 months from the definitive restorative treatment, which should be sufficient to register most apical changes associated with treatment procedures.
General dentists staffing requirement based on workload in the public dental health centers in Turkey
Published in International Journal of Healthcare Management, 2022
The findings relating to professional activities and the mean time required to perform these activities by the dentists working at PODHCs are given in Table 2. Table 2 presents the analysis results in detail regarding the annual number of activities and staffing requirement in the PODHCs. The number of dentists required for each activity was calculated separately. For example, the mean time required for a milk tooth extraction is 8 min, and this activity is performed 15,730 times annually; therefore, the exact number of dentists required for this activity is 1.23. A permanent tooth extraction takes 21 min on average and is performed 62,246 times annually; thus, the exact number of dentists required for this activity is 12.79. Finally, the milk tooth root canal treatment takes 38 min on average and is performed 395 times annually, which yields a dentist requirement of 0.15. All the activities were calculated in the same way as in the example.
