| Abstract |
Germany is the largest member state of the EU, both in terms of population and number of dentists and dental team members, with 80.5 million inhabitants and 69,236 active dentists, 182,000 dental nurses and 54,000 dental technicians in 2012. General dental practitioners in private practice provide almost all oral healthcare under a health insurance scheme. The tradition of compulsory health insurance goes back to the nineteenth century when it was introduced by Bismarck. Today, the majority of the German population (86%) are members of a statutory sick fund which reimburses a legally prescribed standard oral healthcare package provided by dentists in contract with the health insurance system. A smaller number are privately insured. Access to oral healthcare is excellent and 80% of adults visited a dentist in 2013. Healthcare expenditure in Germany has long been considered high. This has led to several reforms in recent years. This paper outlines the system for the provision of oral healthcare in Germany and explains and discusses the latest changes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 15. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 June 2022.
All research outputs
#2,153,112
of 23,666,535 outputs
Outputs from British Dental Journal
#478
of 6,153 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#27,692
of 256,479 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Dental Journal
#8
of 141 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,666,535 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,153 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 256,479 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 141 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
