Key legal question
Whether the oral surgery and excision of amalgam-related pigment changes were covered by compulsory health insurance as a disease treatment.
Extracted holding
The surgical interventions were not covered; the diagnosed condition did not amount to a compensable disease under compulsory health insurance.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that a health impairment is a disease only if it entails a need for examination or treatment; mere deviations from an ideal state are not enough. On the lower court's findings, no disease existed.
