Abstract

Dental care provision for the Japanese people has increased considerably since the national medical insurance system began in 1961.<BR>In this study, we surveyed the insurance situation of patients with psychosomatic dental disorders. A questionnaire was distributed to 41 trustees of the Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Dentistry. Responses were received from 27, who all treat patients with psychosomatic disorders. Approximately three quarters of the respondents had experience of requesting insurance. It was confirmed that reimbursements and valuations are made in this field, too. We asked the dental practioners to participate in a continuing study. We seek to request more understanding and cooperation from related organizations, such as the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the Social Insurance Medical Fee Payment Fund, the All-Japan Federation of National Health Insurance Organization, dental associations of each area and the Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Dentistry.
