Dental Plans To Be Surveyed Prepaid dental plans, which may lead to better oral health by encouraging preventive care, , are the subject of a two million dollar nationwide survey being conducted by Research Triangle In stitute for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. About one of every five persons in the nation had prepaid coverage in 1977, and the American Dental Association estimates that the number now has in creased to one in three. The majority receive coverage as a fringe benefit from their employers. "Most people know that when they get higher wages they'll also pay higher taxes, and thus take home a portion of a raise," said Research Triangle Institute sociologist Arthur Bonito, who heads the survey. "Workers and employers see dental prepayment as one way of getting full benefit because every family has dental care needs." Working with the American Dental Associa tion, RTI survey specialists will visit 1,370 households which are covered by prepayment plans and an equal number which are not. ... " Dentists will , examine everyone in i each household, and RTI's in terviewers will gather in formation about their use of dental care services. Bonito and other RTI analysts will compare results from both sets of households to learn how prepayment plans in fluence the use of dental care and how they affect dental health among plan members. The survey will be completed in the sum-' mer of 1982. 'The expectation is that because prepayment plans remove financial barriers to going to the dentist, people's oral health will improve," Bonito said. "A lot of people don't go to the dentist regularly because they know that cleaning, X-rays and an exam will run twenty to thirty dollars each visit." Survey results will help insurance carriers, employers and govern ment agencies plan prepayment .programs to reduce the health and economic impacts of oral diseases and tooth neglect." They will also help the dental profession in assessing its needs for future manpower and ser vices, v "Dental prepayment may be following the very same pattern that hospitalization coverage . followed v thirty years ago," Bonito said. "Many forecasters feel it will eventually become a stan dard worker benefit, just as today ninety per cent of the population has basic hospitalization coverage." Research Triangle In stitute is separately operated, not-for-profit affiliate of the University of - North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke Univer sity and North Carolina State University. Under contract to industry and government clients, RTI's staff of 1200 carries out approximately $50 million of research annually in the physical and social sciences.
