OBJECTIVES: Althought, dental implantation is an expensive treatment, it significantly improves the quality of patients’ life. With the new esthetic standards in implant dentistry, it is important that new techniques be developed to meet increasing demands. We conducted our research to study the best price-quality relationship for dental implant suprastructures (abutments and crowns) made of different materials.The objective of the present study was to analyze and compare prices for the final stage of dental implantation depending on the material of dental abutment and crown at seven private dental clinics in Ukraine. METHODS: We compared and analyzed the costs of the final stage of dental implantation which was conducted in 7 private dental clinics in Ukraine during the period of 6 month (1 June 2015 – 30 November 2015). For that purpose we selected five leading manufacturers  which produce dental abutments and crowns. Prices for the technologies and materials were set by the Administration of each Dental clinic. Statistical analysis of the costs was performed by a computer program x7 2009. RESULTS: The prices for the final stage of implantation in private dental clinics were used for the comparative cost calculation of technologies with implant suprastructures made of four different materials: zirconia, titanium, titanium nitride and PEEK. According to our research the most accessible on costs and widespread technology was conducted with titanium. Ukrainian patients pay out-of-pocket for dental implantation and the main task of stakeholders is to provide the most effective services. CONCLUSIONS: The most expensive was the final stage of implantation with zirconia abutments and crowns (p <0,5) and the most accessible on costs and widespread technology was conducted with titanium implant suprastrucutures (p <0,001). Also we revealed that patients in Ukraine were highly motivated to pay for dental implantation in order to get the best esthetical result.
