The concept of “risk control” such as caries risk control has come to be widely known not only to people involved in dental treatment but also to the general public. However, the practice of risk control care to prevent dental diseases from occurring at the job site has various obstacles to overcome. The greatest obstacle is health insurance, which operates by a free-for-service system. This slants treatment towards restoration. Furthermore, the medical evaluation is not evaluated by dental outcome, but by nominal amount claimed.
An online receipt system will definitely encourage this tendency. As an alternative to such a nominal evaluation of amount claimed, I decided to positively address the activity of evaluating health index and clinical index as dental outcomes. In order to ensure the goal, I will undertake “The Japan Health Dental Outcome Research Projects”, which increases the social evaluation of dental treatment with a series of activities including giving feed back to patients and society. The following research, surveys 1 to 4 listed below, were our initial approach. 32 dental offices over 13 prefectures participated in this study.
