Intervention Results:

Preventive and/or routine dental utilization during the study period was 43% for children in the intervention group and 26.5% for those in the control group (p=0.047).
Subgroup analysis by income level revealed that the difference in dental utilization was driven by children in poor households with income under $15,000 (43% in intervention group and 20% in control group; p=0.014). Children in households with income over $15,000 had the same utilization between the two groups.

Intervention Results:

Among the newly insured group, utilization rates of preventive dental visits increased significantly from 0.24 to 0.63 encounters per patient per year between pretest and posttest (adjusted rate ratio=2.56, 95% CI: 2.38-2.75). Between-group pretest-posttest differences in rate ratios revealed that changes in utilization of preventive dental visits were significantly different from those of the continuously insured and continuously uninsured groups (p<0.001).

Intervention Results:

In the bivariate model, established enrollees had greater service use of dental visits for checkup/cleaning compared to all recent enrollees and recent enrollees who were uninsured for 6 months prior to enrollment (p<0.01), but not different than recent enrollees who were insured for some or all of the 6 months prior to enrollment.
The multivariate model showed the same results; established enrollees were more likely to receive preventive dental care than recent enrollees as well as recent enrollees who were uninsured for 6 months prior to enrollment, but not different than recent enrollees who were insured for some or all of the 6 months prior to enrollment (p<0.01).

Intervention Results:

Among Medicaid-eligible children, preventive dental care utilization increased from 74.9% to 81.1% in Connecticut, 69.9% to 71.9% in Maryland, and 65.9% to 80.7% in Texas. In the control states, preventive dental care utilization decreased from 66.8% to 65.2%. Relative to the control states, preventive dental care utilization significantly increased by 7.8% and 16.4% in Connecticut and Texas respectively, and insignificantly increased by 3.6% in Maryland.
The multivariate analysis revealed similar changes in preventive dental care utilization in Medicaid-eligible children comparing the three study states and control states (significant increases in Connecticut and Texas and insignificant change in Maryland).
The difference in observations between Maryland and the two other study states can be attributed to a more modest increase in the Medicaid-to-private insurance fee ratio in Maryland.

Intervention Results:

Independent of confounders, access to a school-based health center was significantly associated with a greater likelihood of the child having received a yearly dental examination (OR=1.36, 95% CI: 1.91=1.83, p<0.05).
Stratifying the sample by insurance status revealed that among insured students, a higher percentage of students in the comparison school without a school-based health center (65.0%) obtained a yearly dental examination compared to the intervention school with a school-based health center (53.4%) (p<0.05). Among uninsured students, a significantly higher percentage of those in the intervention school (36.5%) obtained a yearly dental examination compared to the comparison school (18.5%) (p<0.01).

Intervention Results:

Established Medicaid enrollees were 12 and 16 percentage points more likely to receive a dental visit for checkup/cleaning than all recent enrollees and recent enrollees who were previously uninsured for 6 months prior to enrollment (p<0.05). Established enrollees were not more likely to receive preventive dental visits than recent enrollees who were insured for some or all of the 6 months prior to enrollment.

Intervention Results:

The number of preventive dental procedures per Medicaid enrollee was 0.72, 0.61, and 0.74 for 1998, 1999, and 2000 respectively. Comparing 2000 to 1998/1999, the average percent increase per enrollee was 10.8%. For both age groups 0-2 years and 3-21 years, the reform had a statistically significant impact on the number of preventive dental services provided per Medicaid enrollee on a monthly basis. Comparing 2000 and 1998/1999, for the younger age group, preventive services rose by 0.003 units per enrollee per month (p<0.001) and 0.018 units in the older age group (p<0.001).

Intervention Components (click on component to see a list of all articles that use that intervention): POPULATION-BASED SYSTEMS, STATE, Public Insurance

Intervention Results:

Among the continuously enrolled children, preventive dental visits increased from 34.2% to 55.6% between enrollment and 6 months post-enrollment (p<0.005). Between 6 months post-enrollment and 12-months post-enrollment, it increased from 55.6% to 61.5% (p<0.005). The increase from enrollment to 12-months post enrollment was significant (p<0.005).
Comparison children at enrollment (28.5%) had a lower percentage of preventive dental visits than continuously enrolled children at enrollment (34.2%); therefore, the changes observed in the study group were attributable to the insurance programs rather than to other environmental trends.

Intervention Results:

Preliminary data suggest promising results. Among the approximately 3,900 children served by the three pilot locations, 573 children (14 percent) received an oral health screening; 175 (31 percent) of those children were under age one. Of those screened, 48 children (8 percent) had untreated decay, 490 (86 percent) received a fluoride varnish application, and 80 (14 percent) received a dental sealant. A total of 857 pregnant women are served in the WIC program across all three pilot locations. Out of those women, 123 (14 percent) received an oral health screening. Of those screened, 88 (72 percent) showed untreated decay, and 46 (37 percent) were referred to a dentist for urgent needs. Out of the women who received an oral health screening, 114 (93 percent) received a fluoride varnish application, and 92 (75 percent) received sealants.
