| Abstract: |
Dentine hypersensitivity is not a new disease. More than a hundred years ago Gysi, 40 years ago Brannström and since then many others have dealt with the problems of its symptoms, pathomechanism, differential diagnosis and therapy. The revived interest today may be attributed to improving oral health and to the presence of more teeth in older age, as well as decreasing caries prevalence. The exposure of dentine surfaces due to gingival recession, erosion and abrasion may cause serious complaints. It occurs in about 40% of the adult population, although, few of them turn to the dentist. Therefore, practising dentists should be aware of the possibilities of treatment, managing strategies and prevention. New aspects include the appropriate timing of toothbrushing after the consumption of acidogenic, erosive foods and beverages, as well as non-invasive (desensitising toothpastes with potassium nitrate/fluoride) and invasive (reconstruction with fillings, coverage of the exposed roots) treatment options. Continuous care of patients with dentine hypersensitivity is advisable in order to prevent more serious consequences (irritation of the pulp). |

| Abstract: |
Oro-pharyngeal cancer is the fifth most common cancer in men, and the seventh in womne (sixth overall), with marked georgaphical variations. For this site, Hungary has the highest mortality rate among 46 countries, both in males and females, Croatia occupies the third place in male oro-pharyngeal cancer mortality. Since the mid 1960-s, a dramatic increase in mortality has been observed in all Centrall european countries. In Hungary, the oral cancer death rate has shown more that a five-fold increase within this time period. Tobaco use and alcohol consumption are the leading causes of oral cancer, and this relationship is clearly demonstrated in recentassessments. Although there has been a steady reduction in tobacco use in North America and Northen Europe over the past decades, this has not occured in Eastern and Southern Europe. In fact Poland, Greece and Hungary represent three nations with the highest per capita cigarette consumption among 111 countries worldwide, and this rate has increased over the past twenty years. The high level of alcohol consumption in countries with the leading mortality rates- especially Hungaryis also well known. The interaction and/or summation of smoking and alcohol consumption may play a role in augmenting the risk. The mortality in liver cirrhosis - generally linked with alcohol consumption - is in Hungary extremly high. Oral diseases attributable to smoking and/or alcohol consumption, such as oral cancer and oral leukoplakia, show a high prevalence in Hungary. A group of oral leukoplakias, more likely to develop oral cancer, has been defined based on long-term follow-up studies, where the speckled (erosive) type of leukoplakias showed the highest malignancy rate, and therefore could be considered as a risk group for oral leukoplakias. These sad statistics are there, in spite of the fact that oral cancer is accessible both for the eyes, as well as for the palpating hands. Therefore, the new Hungarian Health Program pays special attention to oral cancer, involving recommendations for primary prevention, as well as accentuating the role of the dentist and physician in secondary prevention enabling early diagnosis. |

| Abstract: |
The aim of the study was to assess the caries prevalence and oral hygiene in groups of adolescents living in different Hungarian localities and to establish correlations with socio-economic factors. Examinations of caries and oral hygiene were performed in 586 14-16 year old children. The percentage of caries free children was 5.1%, the DMFT and DMFS values were 6.97±4.67 and 9.95±7.94 respectively. The VPI index was 41.6±32.7% (mean±S.D.), and showed positive correlation with the caries prevalence. The DMFT and DMFS values, as well as VPI decreased as the educational level of the father increased. The number of siblings had a worsening effect on DMFT, DMFS and VPI values. There was some relationship between the previous fluoride prophylaxis and decrease of DMF values, although the difference proved to be statistically non significant. These findings indicate the necessity of organized dental preventive measures. |
