| Summary: | Actuality. The reform of the health care system affects the indicators of the provision of dental care in communally owned institutions.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the dynamics of the number of dentists-orthodontists and the indicators of orthodontic care provided during 2018-2021 in health care institutions of Donetsk region, which are subordinate to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
Materials and methods. According to statistical reports, indicators of the number of dentistsorthodontists and their provision per 10,000 population, as well as indicators of orthodontic care provided, including to adults and children, were retrospectively analyzed and compared with the corresponding average indicators in the country.
The results. The number of dentists-orthodontists in 2018 and 2019 was stable (22 doctors), in 2020 and 2021 their number decreased by 22.7% and 13.6%. The supply of dentists-orthodontists per 10,000 of the region's population in all years exceeded the average Ukrainian indicator. In 2018 and 2019, the indicators of the number of patients examined for the first time per 10 thousand population were significantly lower than the Ukrainian average, in 2020 and 2021 they were higher than the average indicators in the country. Regional indicators of the number of patients who completed orthodontic treatment per 10,000 population were lower than the national average in all years.
Conclusions. The indicators of orthodontic care provided during 2018-2021 in health care institutions of
the Ministry of Health in Donetsk region were significantly inferior to the corresponding average indicators in the country, which indicates the need for its optimization.
