Abstract:
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.
