overtreatment
The context is rather odd but I can only think of "overbehandling" (or medikalisering) in the sense "overtreatment", in line with "underbehandling" meaning "undertreatment". Please see below. If you gice some more context it might become clearer.
"Dette kan medføre både underbehandling og overbehandling. ... Tandplejeprognosen. Igen danner dette grobund for såvel under- som overbehandling."
"Overbehandling/medikalisering"

"Overbehandling/medikalisering"

overtreat /overtreatment
I think because the sentence also refers to 'lettere regimer' (milder regimens?), that it is to do with the extent of the treatment, in this case 'overtreating' the patients.
