We conducted a comparative analysis of the number of dentists in the region to assess the effectiveness of prevention in the Saratov Region, the Volga Federal District and the Russian Federation as a whole for the period<br />from 2018 to 2022. As a result, it was found that the availability of dentists in the Saratov region for 5 years was significantly lower than in<br />Russia and the Volga Federal District as a whole. This negatively affects the effectiveness of examinations and early diagnosis of oral neoplasms. It is necessary to increase quotas for the targeted admission of students of dental faculties, as well as to involve private dental<br />medical organizations in the compulsory health insurance system to increase the effectiveness of preventive examinations and diagnosis<br />of neoplasms.<br /><br /></p>provision of the population with doctorsdentistspreventive examinationsneoplasms of the oral cavityобеспеченность населения врачамиврачи-стоматологипрофилактические осмотрыновообразования ротовой полости1.Healthcare in Russia. 2023: Stat.sat.
