What is the cost of the BOST technique?
A. The cost of the procedure is based on the treatment category that the case falls into. Category I is beginning periodontitis with attachment and bone loss and pockets up to 5mm. Category II Category II is moderate periodontitis with significant attachment and bone loss visible on x-rays and pockets in the 5-7mm range. Category III is advanced periodontitis with advanced bone loss visible on rays but without advanced mobility or deep furcation involvement on molar teeth, pockets of 7-9mm generalized. Category IV is advanced generalized periodontitis with severe bone loss, tooth mobility requiring splinting, deep molar furcation invasions and pockets of 7-9mm generalized. These costs range from 1,000 pounds for category I to around 5,000 pounds for the most difficult cases. Only a complete review of documentation can determine a cost for a given case. Currently, dental insurance covers very little for this type of treatment.
