| description | Introduction: Dental tourism means travelling abroad for
economical dental treatment as the cost of treatment is high
in one’s own country. This trend has been emerged due to
high priced health care and long waiting lists in many Western
countries. In spite of large debates on dental care, tourism has
taken place; still there is lack of scientific studies related to the
dental tourism.
Aim: The present review aims to analyze the opportunities,
feasibilities, treatment cost variability and popularity of dental
tourism.
Materials and Methods: The search strategy used a combination of controlled vocabulary and free text terms. The main
database was PubMed, PubMed Central, Cochrane Review,
Embase and Google Scholar from 2000 – 2015. Out of the total
69 titles appeared seven articles fulfilled the criteria and were
selected for the review. One article which was hand searched
and one article through email were also included.
Results: This review focused the strengths of India’s dental
tourism service as there is a lot of cost difference with good
quality work when we compared India to the other countries.
Like cost for smile designing in US is 8,000$ and in India is
1,000$ and for dental implants in the US is 2,000$, in Hungary
is 1070$ and in India 600$ approximately.
Conclusion: Government and industrial infrastructure favours
the growth of dental tourism in India. The opportunities like
less price with good quality care in India helps to make further
progress in dental tourism. |
