Abstract. In Ukraine, there is a significant demand for dental services across all population strata, which should be accessible at a high level regardless of the ownership type of medical institutions. The contemporary concept of providing high-quality dental care involves the active use of digital technologies, particularly in surgical dentistry.
However, various objective and subjective factors complicate the implementation of patient-oriented, accessible, continuous, and timely dental care, as well as disease prevention. One of the key factors is the absence of digital and conventional clinical protocols for surgical dental care approved by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, including time standards and relative value units (CULs) for procedural complexity.
Concurrently, digital technologies such as computer-aided diagnostics and treatment planning, intraoral scanning, navigational surgical and orthodontic templates, 3D printing of models and dental prostheses, are becoming increasingly prevalent not only in prosthodontics and orthodontics but also in maxillofacial surgery.
Conclusion. Considering the critical importance of providing surgical dental care to the Ukrainian population, the development of new medical-technological protocols, including digital ones, is an essential task to ensure high-quality care in this field. This encompasses improving diagnostic and treatment methodologies, as well as establishing scientifically substantiated time standards for corresponding procedures and objective relative value units for dental surgeons’ clinical workload.
