Abstract

Introduction: Despite the development of dental science and the introduction of modern methods of treatment of dental diseases into practice that allow solving the most difficult clinical situations, the level of dental morbidity remains high. The decrease in the level of dental health negatively affects the state of general somatic health, causing social maladaptation, which in general is negatively reflected at the level of country’s socio-economic development. The aim of our research is a comparative analysis of the provision of orthopedic care to the adult population of Ukraine on the basis of officially published statistical data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Materials and methods: For the analysis, the officially published statistical data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the Centre for Medical Statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine have been selected. Conclusions: A comparative analysis of the provision of orthopaedic dental care to the adult population of Ukraine has shown a change in the quantitative indicators of manufactured orthopaedic constructions both by years and by regions. Coordination of dental care and the introduction of an effective system of monitoring the state of dental health in all parts of the medical and diagnostic process and the necessary forms of statistical reporting will contribute to the creation of an effective system for assessing the quality of dental care.
