ABSTRACT
O custo dos materiais faz parte do cálculo do valor dos honorários odontológicos. As resinas compostas são materiais usualmente utilizados em restaurações dentárias diretas de dentes posteriores. O objetivo desse trabalho foi determinar e analisar o valor total do custo dos materiais de biossegurança utilizados em restaurações dentárias diretas em resina composta. O cálculo dos custos foi baseado no método de sistema de custeio variável. A lista dos materiais foi obtida por meio de consulta a uma banca juízes e baseada nos padrões de excelência comprovados na literatura para atendimento em equipe. Os valores dos materiais foram obtidos de uma média dos valores consultados no mercado fornecedor. O custo encontrado para a biossegurança foi de R$.8,85. Desse valor, os equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI) descartáveis para a equipe e paciente representaram 56,72%. Os valores encontrados podem ser utilizados no cálculo do valor final do procedimento restaurador, auxiliando na gestão de serviços odontológicos públicos ou privados...
The cost of the materials is part of the calculation of the value of dental fees. The composite resins are materials commonly used in direct posterior dental restorations. The aim of this study was to determine and to assess the total value of the cost of the biosafety materials used in composite resin posterior dental restorations. The calculation of costs was based on the method of variable costing system. A list of the materials was obtained by a panel of experts and based on the excellence standards established in the literature for dental team care. The values of the materials were obtained from an average of the values founded in the supplier market. The founded cost was R$.8.85 (in Brazilian current coin) for biosafety materials. Of this value, the personal protective equipment (PPE) disposable products for the team and patient accounted for 56.72 %. These values might be used in the calculation of the final value of the restorative procedure, aiding in the management of public or private dental care services...

The study was carried out with the purpose of assessing the dental treatment requirement and analysis of cost in the management of dental caries among primary school children of Kerala. The sample consisted of 750 primary school children and their parents. 68.5% children were affected with dental caries. Decayed teeth accounted for the largest component. One surface restorations were the most frequent type of treatment required followed by extractions, pit and fissure sealants and pulp therapy. The treatment cost increased in direct proportion to the number of teeth involved. The average cost incurred for various dental treatment varied from Rs. 50 (consultation) to Rs. 300 (for filling and extraction) depending on the nature of treatment. Only 1/3rd of children requiring immediate dental treatment had approached for any form of dental consultation. The study also revealed that all the children who had approached the dentist for consultation and treatment had only done for temporary relief in relation to emergency management.
