Percentage of all teeth that were originally receiving crowns or endodontic treatment that then progressed to receiving extractions
Numerator: Count of teeth that received extraction (D7xxx) (treatment performed based on level of reporting) in the same tooth as the crowns/endo treatment event in denominator between index event and end of the measurement period
Denominator: For patients who have D0120 OR D0145 OR D0150 during the measurement period. Count of teeth with any crowns (D2710 - D2794) or endodontic therapy (D3xxx) (treatment performed based on level of reporting) [1 year; 3 years; 5 years] prior to the start of the measurement period
The population in the denominator is a subset of the Initial Patient Population defined as patients with D0120 OR D0145 OR D0150 OR D0180 (treatment performed) within the 3 years prior to the start date of the measurement period and including the measurement period. The measure itself is at the tooth level - the tooth is the unit of measure.
