Cost-benefit analysis of mobile dental clinics in remote areas of Ukraine
Conclusions: Mobile dental clinics are a feasible and cost-effective strategy to reduce urban-rural disparities in oral health. They bring essential care to isolated populations, improve quality of life, and are justified by projected health gains and cost savings. Pilot deployment of mobile dental clinics in high-need areas, integrated with existing referral networks, is recommended as a sustainable approach to improve oral healthcare access in Ukraine.
