Article Synopsis
- In April 2012, Japan's health insurance system included perioperative oral management (POM) to help reduce pneumonia risk in cancer patients, leading to a noticeable decrease in postoperative pneumonia rates.
- A study comparing 11,886 patients treated before and 13,668 patients treated after POM's implementation showed significant reductions in pneumonia cases, hospital stays, and deaths.
- The cost-effectiveness analysis revealed that preventing pneumonia costs about 111,927 yen per patient, resulting in a potential savings of over 250 million yen in healthcare costs, suggesting future improvements in POM efficiency.
The purpose of this multicenter clinical study was to compare the mid-term clinical effectiveness of direct resin composite restorations using one-step or two-step self-etch adhesives (1-SEAs or 2-SEAs). In total, 352 restorations of class I-V cavities and non-carious cervical lesions in vital teeth (1-SEAs; 52 cases, 2-SEAs; 300 cases) were placed at nine university hospitals and evaluated according to the modified USPHS criteria at baseline, and after 1, 2, and 3 years. The recall rates were 86.
