The article proposes a methodology for creating an assessment of the quality of dental care based on the use of the method of analysis of hierarchies and the theory of fuzzy logic. Approbation of the methodology was carried out on the assessment of the quality of dental services for the manufacture of metal-ceramic crowns. When conducting a new assessment, you can achieve a reduction in the time of its conduct by 6 times, increasing the number of evaluation criteria by 2 times and get results with a confidence factor (p=0.95). Evaluation allows you to combine existing descriptive, quantitative, radiological, functional assessments into a system and rank their significance for the final result. This allows assessing the quality of treatment more objectively.

Was to analyze financial feasibility of obligatory medical insurance programs in dentistry based on the cost of relative unit of labor intensity.

The study is based on statistical analysis of service types and costs dynamics in dental obligatory medical insurance programs in Russia in 2013-2018.

The study identified trends in financing health care, government guarantee programs and financial costs per 1 unit of labor intensity, which should be taken into account when making a medical and economic feasibility study of basic and territorial government guarantee programs to provide citizens of the Russian Federation with free medical care and planning the dental section of the compulsory medical insurance program.

The financial possibilities of implementing the compulsory medical insurance program in the field of dentistry in the Russian Federation are limited by reducing the cost of dental services from the total amount of healthcare financing, not proportional to the increase in inflation and the level of expenses for the compulsory medical insurance program, aggravation of the pathology of patients and untimely treatment for dental services. The provision of planned dental services and preventive measures will reduce the financial costs of these services.

To study the depth of analgesia and the electrical excitability dynamics of the pulp of the tooth under local anesthesia without and with compression on the depot of local anesthetics.

87 men and 93 women took part in the study, the average age of men was 36.8±5.02 and the average age of women was 30.43±2.14. According to the indications, local anesthesia of infiltration type with and without compression at the depot of local anesthetics was performed. The injection was carried out with a solution of 4% articaine with epinephrine1100000 or 1200000. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the used concentration of the vasoconstrictor with 4% articaine. The target area thermometry and electroodontometry (EOD) of the first mandibular molar were performed. The criterion for the onset of pulp analgesia was the value from 92 to 100 mA.

Dynamics of change in pulp electrical excitability of the first molar with the use of 4% articaine with epinephrine 1200000 without a compress showed that in the lattethe pulp of the first molar with the use of 4% articaine by compression method more intensively reduces the electrical reacrivity of the dental pulp depending on the concentration of the epinephrine with the use of 1100000, the advantage of the pressure technique is 19.3% and 1200000 – 21.8%.

Was to assess age-related changes in mouth opening and tongue mobility in children with various forms of epidermolysis bullosa (EB). Materials and methods. selleck compound The study comprised 50 EB children (mean age 8.8±3.9 years). Oral slit width (the distance between mouth commissures at rest), mouth opening amplitude (the distance between incisive edges of the lower and upper incisors) were measured by orthodontic caliper. Tongue mobility was assessed using Bristol Tongue Assessment Tools (BTAT). The results were compared with 55 healthy age-matched controls (mean age 9.3±3.7 years).

Mean moth opening in EB group was 22.6±11.1 mm which is twice lower than in controls (44.3±7.2 mm). The amplitude was progressively increasing in EB patients in the mixed dentition period but then dropped drastically in the permanent dentition because of oral fibrosis. Tongue mobility was lower in EB group when compared to controls even in cases with anatomically appropriate frenulum fixation sites. In permanent dentition maximal tongue raising was 8 times lower than in controls. Microstomia and ankyloglossia were very specific for dystrophic EB patients while in EB simplex, junctional EB and Kindler syndrome the values were similar to healthy controls.

Microstomia, limited mouth opening and tongue mobility are typical oral features of dystrophic EB patients. Age-related dynamics shows progressive growth of the values in mixed dentition with significant lowering after so preventive measures for oral fibrosis are more feasible before permanent dentition phase.

Was to assess the hemodynamics in the pulp of supporting teeth before and after their preparation for ceramic and metal-ceramic crowns.

The study comprised 40 patients treated with ceramic and metal-ceramic fixed dentures. Pulp hemodynamics was assessed by bipolar reodentography 1, 5, 10 and 20 days after the preparation.

At 10 days after dental preparation visual examination of the reodentogram configurations showed their approximation to the original data, which indicates the possibility of using vital teeth as supports for fixed dentures when following the rules of their preparation.

Supporting teeth vitality in cases of their preparation for ceramic and metal-ceramic crowns may be maintained by the strict adhesion to preparation protocol.
