Access to Care Considerations for the Endodontic Treatment of Immature Permanent Teeth: A National Survey of Pediatric Dentists and Endodontists

This study aimed to investigate access to care and financial considerations associated with the endodontic treatment of immature permanent teeth. Surveys were distributed to endodontists (n = 2,457) and pediatric dentists (n = 3,974) in the United States. Data were analyzed using X2 analysis and log...

description This study aimed to investigate access to care and financial considerations associated with the endodontic treatment of immature permanent teeth. Surveys were distributed to endodontists (n = 2,457) and pediatric dentists (n = 3,974) in the United States. Data were analyzed using X2 analysis and logistic regression. The level of significance was set to 0.05. The response rate was 13% (n = 840). Respondent specialist groups were similar by age and years since specialty residency completion, but significantly different with regard to primary practice setting (eg private practice, Federally Qualified Health Center, hospital), (P = .001). The majority (91%) of respondents reported participation with dental insurance. Pediatric dentists (69%) were significantly more likely than endodontists (17%) to participate with public-payer dental insurance (P

Pediatric dentists (33%) reported encountering barriers when attempting to refer their patients to an endodontist. Inability to find an endodontist that participates with dental insurance was the most frequently cited barrier.
