Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 管理科學學系企業經營碩士在職專班 === 101 === Technological advances in dentistry over the last decade, dental implant has taken the place of traditional removable prosthesis and gradually dominant main treatment of snag accompany with its stability. Because the aging population society, the coming of baby boomers, and the aesthetic needs, the market of dental implant might have great development. Accuracy is the main influence in dental implant of success. The CAD-CAM technology is developed and improved very quickly in this decade to fulfill the requirements.
This study use two-stage DEA to assess the overall efficiency of different dental implant systems and the relative efficiency of perceived usefulness and clinician acceptance. The results of frontier projection to 6 systems are presented in terms of efficiency scores. The better performs of overall efficiency are Nobel of Static and Roboden of Dynamic. For the relative efficiency of perceived usefulness, Roboden of Dynamic performs the best, but the static system is more acceptable by clinical dentists because Nobel, Simplant and Treon are all static systems. In addition, this study also finds that Robodent performs best on perceived usefulness but get the lowest score on clinician acceptance which reveals that clinical dentists would choose system mainly by convenience to use but not accuracy of device. Furthermore, this research collects data of BCG Matrix and Optimal Intermediate Measure to provide useful information for system producers and suggest they should not only focus on improvement of accuracy but also emphasize on user convenience.
The result of this study can provide not only decision-making information of medical organizations, dentists and patients but also the standard for system producers to improve their performance.
