The research paper examines the potential cost savings within the Swiss healthcare system by analyzing the impact of professional periodontal care. Using a computer simulation, the study models the direct and indirect costs associated with preventing and treating gum disease and its related complications, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The authors consider various scenarios with different levels of periodontal care and assess the financial implications for both individuals and social welfare. Their findings indicate that early detection and treatment of gum disease could significantly reduce healthcare expenses, particularly in the later stages of life. The study suggests that investing in preventive periodontal care is economically beneficial for both individuals and the Swiss healthcare system as a whole. Ultimately, the authors hope to encourage the integration of dental and medical healthcare in Switzerland for the good of public health.
