Abstract
This study reports on factors related to acceptance of restorative, oral surgery, and prosthodontic dental treatment services by a population of nursing home residents. Lower cost treatment plans and eligibility for Medicaid benefits were associated with acceptance of all treatment, and for the categories of oral surgery and prosthodontic services. Acceptance of routine restorative procedures was more strongly associated with female residents. It is concluded that financial concerns appear to pose the greatest barrier in providing dental treatment services to nursing home residents.
