Benefit-to-cost ratio of dental insurance plans for children in India. A comparative evaluation
Jyoti Mathur, Ekta Pansheriya
Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2026
Background: India is the most populous country in the world now with about one-third of the population being children. Preventive dental checkup and treatment is as important as periodic General Health examination and preventive measures such as timely vaccination have been incorporated in Public health policies for new-borns and young children. Dental checkup and examination as part of public health presents a different scenario wherein most children are not presented even for the first dental checkup before any “problem” or “pain” arises. One major cause of this could be high out of pocket expenses that parents may have to bear. While multiple government schemes for General health examination and treatment exist, It is still not clear about their effectiveness at the level of an individual patient. At present, there seems to be a lack of a dedicated scheme for children’s oral health. Hence, the only other avenue for parents to seek dental attention for their wards would be the health insurance sector. Aim: The aim is to highlight the benefit to cost ratio of existing health insurances for dental treatment and to explore if any insurance offers best features for pediatric dental treatment. Materials and Methods: We studied and compared various health insurances existing in the market currently and tried to find out if any dental benefits of such insurances exist on the basis of Benefit to cost ratio (BCR). Results: After comparison, we did not find any health insurance plan that covers oral health for children effectively. Conclusion: With BCR offered by insurance companies which was found to be far less than recommended, it makes little sense for parents to seek dental insurance for their wards currently.

BACKGROUND: Objective in root canal preparation is to develop a shape that tapers from apical to coronal, maintaining the original canal shape. With advent of instruments manufactured from nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys, there was a significant improvement of quality of root canal shaping, with predictable results and less iatrogenic damage. AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the canal centric ability and apical transportation in apical region of newer NiTi file system in root canal using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) on extracted molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Root canal of thirty extracted human permanent teeth with mature root apices with 20°-40° of curvature were collected and divided into three groups after initial bio-mechanical preparation: Group 1: canal prepared using ProTaperNext (PTN) file system; Group 2: canal prepared using Mani silk system; and Group 3: canal prepared using V-taper file system. All samples were scanned before and after biomechanical preparation using CBCT. The data collected were evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance test and Mann-Whitney U-test. RESULTS: It was observed that in apical region Group I (PTN) showed significantly lower mean apical transportation and canal centric ability as compared to Group II (Mani Silk) and Group III (V-taper). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that PTN rotary system has no canal transportation and maintained centric ability in comparison to Mani and V-taper rotary file system in apical region of curved root canal.
