Summary:
Introduction. The dental industry has entered the path of information technology (digitalization) later than other areas of the industry, however, it is steadily integrating with advanced technological solutions. The commercialization of the industry, high competition, the need to match the highest possible quality of services and its high cost – all this forces public and private sector organizations to look for ways to improve their assistance, organizational and management processes. From this point of view, digital tools and technologies seem to be the optimal solution to the tasks set.
Purpose: to study the importance of modern information technologies in the organization of dental orthopedic care to the population.
Materials and methods. As the main scientific basis of the study, new publications of domestic and foreign experts on the use of information technologies in the organization of dental orthopedic care from the point of view of prospects for its improvement are considered. More than 80 literature sources have been studied, mainly over the past five years. The article uses 34 scientific publications. Modern research methods – analytical and content analysis - were used to prepare the article.
Results and discussion. The main directions of the introduction of information technologies in orthopedic dentistry include: 3D radiography and modeling; 3D printing (prosthetics and manufacture of orthopedic structures using 3D printers); 4D printing; CAD/CAM technologies (computer modeling and production of the final product); digital solutions for implants; electronic document management (in including electronic medical records), etc. Despite the obvious advantages of using information (digital) technologies in dentistry, researchers identify the following problematic aspects that require modern organizational solutions: ensuring cybersecurity; issues of standardization and compatibility to create a system of uniform standards for the implementation of digital solutions; staff training to create skills for working with automated solutions.
Conclusion. Most of the information technologies and tools used in orthopedic dental practice solve the issues of fragmented automation, ensuring the improvement of the diagnostic stage: 3D modeling using artificial intelligence technologies, 3D printing. Systems based on "deep learning" and electronic medical records have only recently begun to be used in this area. Digitalization is not yet fully integrated with the dental industry, in particular with orthopedic dental practice, in comparison with other areas of healthcare. In addition, there are almost completely no solutions capable of improving the processes of organizing care, helping an orthopedic surgeon in daily practice, which seems to be a promising area of research.
