Abstract

In this article, we set out to highlight the advantages of prevention in the field of dental medicine and what the minimum costs are in this case, as well as how they increase the more a condition is not detected in time and resolved quickly when it occurs, if the patient does not go to the dentist for a consultation once every six months or at least once a year. We will then exemplify by presenting specific cases encountered with different patients, depending on the severity of the disease and what the costs are for solving the problems that appeared in the oral cavity. For the study of the activities in the dentist’s office we chose the cluster analysis mathematical model.
