Results:
Visits for the purpose of prophylaxis make up 24.87±0.27% in the structure of all methods. Dental care specialists have conducted 25 413.0 prophylaxis admissions of their patients. 35 563.29 conventional units of labor input are elaborated on the total cost of 4 614 812.16 rubles. In the purpose of diseases prevention it is planned to spend the average of 0.21 conventional units of labor input on each insured citizen or 2.1 minute on the cost of 27.31 rubles. It was spent 0.51 conventional units of labor input or 5.1 minutes that costs 66,06 rubles for each patient. These data indicate the lack of funding and time to conduct quality preventive care.
Conclusion:
