[Experience with the use of short dental implants in the literature].

According to the literature short dental implants have often been used for the replacement of teeth in the daily praxis. The implantation of short dental implants raise a lot of questions. The autors's aim is to collect the most important experiences of current literature on the mentioned theme to oral implantologists.

[Realization of Tissue Care Concept by the use of Denti Bone Level implants. Three years of clinical experience in applying Denti BL implants].

Several scientific studies in the international literature discuss the practical application of preventive measures in implantation resulting in long-term success. These complex preventive principles are referred to as Tissue Care Concept (TCC). The authors' summarize the characteristics and prerequisites of TCC.

[New guidelines on the prevention of infective endocarditis. Special aspects for dentists].

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a disease with serious, even fatal complications, often requiring long-term and expensive treatment. Therefore, prophylaxis has emerging importance. Previous guidelines suggested the use of prophylactic treatment for a wide range of patients and procedures.

[Immediate replacement of missing lower front teeth using Denti One-Piece and needle implants].

The Denti one-stage root form implant made of pure titanium (so called DOP implant type) was introduced in 2004 and the Denti Needle implants was introduced in 2007. The author of this paper was one of the first who used these systems in Hungary. The observation period of the implanted DOP implants ranges between 1 to 5 years with a success rate of 95.

[Our experience with Denti root form implants in clinical practice].

In the past 40 years, dental implantology has developed significantly in Hungary just like all over the world. This development refers to the implant materials, the diagnostics, the surgical techniques and the implantation prosthetics equally. According to the available statistics, approximately 66,000 implants are used annually in Hungary, which are provided by 32 implant systems.

The clinical and pathological symptoms of pregnancy epulis.

Examination of the oral cavity in 2260 pregnant women revealed 12 cases of pregnancy epulis, an incidence of 0.48%. In 9 of these 12 cases, spontaneous regression and recovery occurred 1-4 months after delivery.

[Clinical symptoms and treatment of cervicofacial actinomycosis. Literature survey and case report].

Actinomycosis is a chronic, specific inflammation which is characterized by suppuration, abscess formation, tissue fibrosis and granuloma formation. Actinomycosis has three main forms (cervicofacial, which is the most frequent, approximately 60%, pulmonary and abdominal), but other regions of the body can be involved, too (e.g.

[The use of aminopenicillin combined with a beta-lactamase inhibitor in outpatients of oral surgery and dentistry].

On the basis of the information gained from the literature the amoxicillin/clavulanic acid combination has attained the leading position in dentistry and outpatient oral surgery practices as regards the order of application of antibiotics. The explanation for this may be that in 60-70% of the cases of odontogenic inflammation, besides the pathogenic anaerobic bacteria there is an increasing necessity to eliminate beta-lactamase-producing bacteria as well. The authors applied the amoxicillin/clavulanic acid combination (Aktil Duo 625 mg) to support the--primarily surgical--treatment of 14 oral and dental surgery conditions on a total of 60 patients.

[Rare case of the large-sized, unilateral incisive canal cyst].

A rare case of an extremely large, unilateral incisive canal cyst (nasopalatine duct cyst), located between the teeth #11 and #25 is presented. The upper border of the cyst extended to the nasal cavity, the posterior border was the maxillary sinus while the lower border was 5 mm above the maxillary alveolar process. The apices of the vital teeth 21, 22, 23 were in the cyst.

[Oral manifestations in Crohn's disease and dental management].

Crohn's disease is a systemic chronic inflammatory disorder, which may involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract, including the oral cavity. Bowel symptoms are the predominant manifestations, however during the course of the disease a lot of extra-intestinal complications may occur. The prevalence rates of oral manifestations varied between 5 to 20 per cent, but in pediatric patients the prevalence is much higher: 48 to 80 per cent.
