Identifying and Ranking the Factors Impacting the Utilization of Nanotechnology in Dentistry using the MCDM Fuzzy Approach

Introdouction: One of the existing problems in the field of dentistry is the use of utilizing materials. Utilizing materials in dentistry must have high rigidity and resistance and a beautiful appearance. The weak formulation of dentistry materials causes irritation, side effects, and increases the cost of healthcare. Therefore, farms and organizations related to dentistry care are trying to produce highly efficient products. Therefore, in the current research, we attempted to recognize and rank the factors that impact on the utilization of nanotechnology in dentistry by an MCDM Fuzzy approach. The statistical community of the present research includes dentists and university experts, who are active in the field of Nano- Dentistry in Mazandaran, Dentist College in Sari . They are selected by the consensus of two groups. The first group included managers and superordinate experts of the organization with 32 people for localizing the modeling. In the second group, five experts as the statistical sample were selected. Materials and methods: The descriptive method and descriptive survey were used. Therefore, by exploring the scientific texts, the criteria were recognized, and their reliability then proved by experts. Results: By using the screening (decimal-fuzzy), 21 factors were recognized as important and effective in the use of nanotechnology in dentistry. To determine the impact and influence of these factors, the DEMATEL technique was used. Conclusion: According to the results, decreasing dental plaque had the most impact, and the cost of technology was the most influential factor..
