Popis: INTRODUCTION: Modern digital technologies allow achieving high accuracy in patient treatment. Many different 2D programs are available for virtual smile design modeling. This article describes a methodology to assess the clinical and economic efficiency of a 2D smile design planning program. We reveal a step-by-step algorithm for determining the effects, costs, and clinical and economic efficiency indices. AIM: To study the clinical and cost-effectiveness of 2D smile design planning programs. MATERIAL AND METHODS: chronometry, cost-effectiveness, cost minimization, cost-utility (utility), cost-benefit, and questioning. RESULTS: Technology without the use of 2D planning involved providing 11 medical services to a patient with a medical cycle duration of 325 min. The 2D planning technology involved providing 9 medical services to a patient with a medical cycle duration of 177 min. The indicators of clinical and economic efficiency of the medical technologies (with and without 2D smile design planning) were calculated, which demonstrated a large clinical effect (an additional increase in the standard of living by 6 points) with less monetary (76 rubles per patient) and temporary (168 min per patient) costs when using the 2D smile design programs. Technology. CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained using this methodology to assess the clinical and economic efficiency of the technology confirm the expediency of using the 2D smile design technology in dental practice.
