This study aims to examine the effect of caries experience and etiological risk factors on the potential cost burden of the individual on the health system. A cross sectional study 1497 adult individuals in 25-30 age group were evaluated. The study was conducted using questionnaires and clinical examinations. Current DMFT/DMFS values of individuals were calculated. The dental needs of individuals were determined, a planning was created for each individual with the most basic procedures met by the SSI. The number of filling, shooting, canal treatment, prosthesis, periodontal treatment needs were evaluated separately for each individual. A total of the cost was calculated for each individual by multiplying the scores in the SSI Health Application Communiqué table with the notified coefficients. The obtained DMFT values, etiological risk factors and total costs were statistically analyzed. While the average DMFT/DMFS values of individuals in the group below the cost average are 4.82/9.44, the ones above it are 13.72/34.53. It was determined that the frequency of brushing, brushing habit before sleep and the use of fluorinated oral care agents and dental floss between groups had a significant effect on the cost reduction between groups. It was observed that dental examination frequency and orthodontic treatment had a significant effect on cost reduction. It was determined that smoking had a significant effect on increasing the cost. It was concluded that the individuals with adequate oral care habits and who went to regular dentist examination decreased their caries experience and therefore their possible total costs would be low.
