Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the extraction of wisdom teeth 18, 28, 38 and 48 had to be covered by compulsory health insurance as treatment of a serious, unavoidable disorder of the masticatory system.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Coverage was denied because the required displaced position of the wisdom teeth was not proven; evidentiary uncertainty fell on the insured person.
Extrahierte Begründung
For impacted wisdom teeth, coverage requires either special circumstances or a difficult and demanding treatment of the pathology. The OPT and expert opinion did not establish displacement with sufficient certainty, and the intraoperative findings were not adequately documented.
