Reports on Managed Care from Nihon University Provide New Insights (Surveillance Study On the Application of Titanium and Its Alloys To Removable Dental Prostheses): Managed Care

2024 APR 02 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- New research on Managed Care is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Tokyo, Japan, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “This review describes individual studies of removable dental prostheses, evaluated their performance and clinical applicability for the proposal to expand health insurance coverage of titanium and its alloys to removable dental prostheses.”

Financial support for this research came from Japanese Science Federation.

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Nihon University, “Titanium and its alloys have become clinically applicable as prosthetic materials by improving dental casting systems. They have high biosafety and good mechanical properties, are excellent substitutes for the silver-palladium-gold alloys for casting, and are highly useful for removable dental prostheses.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Therefore, the introduction of health insurance coverage for removable dental prostheses made of titanium and its alloys is worthy of consideration.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
