Word count: 289 ABSTRACT Introduction: Periodontitis appears to have quite high prevalence about 20-50% globally and 74.1% in Indonesia. As in 2019, there were 1.1 billion people worldwide affected by cases of periodontitis. Hence, the efficacy of periodontal therapy and its cost in the developing country needs to be assured in aiming for periodontal health status. Objective: To estimate the treatment costs for periodontitis stage I -IV, to analyze it based on changes in periodontal status (Plaque Index (PI), Papillary Bleeding Index (PBI) and Calculus Index (CI)) after treatment and to see relationship between the cost of periodontitis treatment and changes in periodontal status (PI, PBI and CI), as well as changes in periodontal status (PI, PBI and CI) and the number of visits. Materials and Method: Out of 210 medical records collected from the Periodontology Clinic, Dental Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Indonesia from the year of 2020 to 2022, 64 medical records were analyzed. Data collection included the costs of periodontitis treatment and changes in periodontal status scores for PI, PBI and CI variables. Univariate and bivariate analyses were done with SPSS 26.0. Results: The highest average cost was found in periodontitis stage IV (50,45 USD); while, the lowest cost was in periodontitis stage III (18,96 USD). As for treatment sequences, the highest cost was associated with the initial and surgery phase, reaching 61,21 USD; while, the lowest cost was associated with the initial phase, 20,08 USD. The treatment costs for periodontitis stage I-IV and number of visits did not have a significant relationship with the changes in PI, PBI and CI variables. Conclusion: Treatment cost in regard to number of visits and periodontitis staging shows no differences in improving periodontal status, by means cost does not affect the outcome.
