The article presents a comparative assessment of the economic rationale and efficiency of manufacturing complete removable plate prostheses made using traditional and 3D digital technologies. The study was carried out using a Planmeca intraoral 3D scanner and a Form 3 3D printer. The results of the study indicate that, comparing the methods of orthopedic treatment of patients with full removable plate prostheses taking into account all costs, the economic efficiency of the traditional method is lower than that of the digital one, 1 and 1.67, respectively, the difference between the cost of both methods is 19.4% or 519.9 rub. The digital method of manufacturing a complete removable plate prosthesis using the Form 3 3D printer is the least expensive and more economical than the traditional method. The use of economic methods for evaluating various methods in the treatment of dental orthopedic patients with complete removable plate prostheses is a technology that allows you to choose one or another method of manufacturing an orthopedic structure, the advantage of which is that the results obtained in such studies are based not only on the clinical effectiveness of various prosthetics techniques, but also on economic feasibility.
