The article suggests a hypothesis that the implementation of the Zemsky Doctor program does not lead to a sufficient increase in the attractiveness of young specialists moving to rural areas, which in turn reduces the availability of oral sanitation in the CRH and indicates the presence of a dental aspect of social inequality. To confirm or refute the truth of the hypothesis, two tasks are set: 1. To assess the role of the Medical Institute of the Belgorod State National Research University as a factor determining the settlement of dentists in rural areas. 2. To analyze the dynamics of the number of fillings placed for pulpitis and periodontitis in Prokhorovsky, Rakityansky, Volokonovsky dental departments for 2017 and 2021. The solution of the tasks set allowed us to speak about the truth of the formulated hypothesis. The revealed features of the personnel of the dental departments of the CRH indicate the absence of a significant influence of the medical institute on the staffing of the CRH by young specialists. The results obtained in the process of comparative evaluation of the number of fillings made for complicated caries revealed a widespread decrease in the intensity of endodontic treatment observed in different CRH.
