A special place in this process is occupied by the healthcare system. Digital technologies used in the treatment of patients, computer programs for treatment planning and automatic recording of internal processes of medical institutions all this together led to a sharp development of healthcare in Russia. An important role in healthcare is played by dental practice. The high price level in private dental clinics is inaccessible to many segments of the population. The integration of digital technologies in dental practice and the automation of most current processes is a key step for optimizing the economic component of dental services and, as a result, providing affordable dental care to citizens of the Russian Federation.</p>digital dentistrydentistrydigital economydental servicemedicineцифровая стоматологиястоматологияцифровая экономикатоматологиче-ская услугамедицина[Апресян С.В,, Лебеденко И.Ю.
