TI  - CPITN: time and cost estimates for periodontal prevention and treatment 
      procedures.
PG  - 53-8
AB  - The aim of this study was to estimate the necessary time and cost for periodontal 
      prevention and treatment in a working population from sugar and alcohol 
      refineries in Araraquara, SP, Brazil. A stratified sample of 528 employees aged 
      18-64 from administrative, industrial and agricultural staffs was examined by one 
      examiner, previously trained, according to the community periodontal index of 
      treatment needs (CPITN). The time required for procedures and the cost was 
      extrapolated to the total worker population. The results showed that the 
      estimated time required for periodontal prevention/treatment was 4527 hours. Of 
      this time, 1783 hours were required for oral hygiene instruction, 2531 for 
      scaling, 151 for surgery and 62 for maintenance. The cost would be US $17,655 for 
      hiring a dentist for 8 hours/day to provide oral hygiene instruction, scaling, 
      surgery and maintenance. However, the cost would be US $9,028 for hiring a 
      dentist for 4 hours/day to provide surgery and maintenance and a dental hygienist 
      for 8 hours/day to provide scaling and oral hygiene instruction. Taking into 
      account epidemiologic, technical and economic aspects, the decision relating to 
      manpower should be this second option.
