INTEGRATION OF CLINICAL QUALITY CONTROL AND NUMERICAL STRESS ANALYSIS AT THE CROWN-IMPLANT INTERFACE IN ORTHOPEDIC DENTISTRY

Abstract

According to the legal definition of the quality of medical care, one of the evaluation criteria is the degree to which the planned treatment outcome has been achieved. Analysis of court cases in dentistry shows that in 40% of cases, there are claims regarding the quality of orthopedic dental care and its results. The increase in the number of adverse treatment outcomes considered in courts is largely due not to the low quality of dental prosthetics, but to the lack of communication skills among dentists, their inability to achieve patient compliance, active involvement of the legal community, opportunities for financial gain, and the peculiarities of modern cultural coding, which leads to the dominance of patient rights while dentists have low legal literacy. Focusing on the clinical aspects of treatment, dentists insufficiently utilize the potential of a risk-oriented approach in organizing their work to prevent the emergence and development of conflict situations, which provokes locally contained conflicts to escalate to the level of court proceedings. According to research data, more than 67% of patients' claims regarding the quality of orthopedic treatment are recognized by courts as justified.
