    Abstract Objectives: A randomized controlled clinical trial of dental implants was conducted to compare the clinical properties of a novel electrochemically deposited calcium phosphate coating to those of a common marketed surface treatment.
    Material and methods: Forty implants of the same brand and type were placed in 20 fully edentulous participants requiring mandibular implantation. The two study groups were defined by the surface treatment of the implants. 20 implants in the control group were coated via a commercial electrochemical surface treatment that forms a mixture of brushite and hydroxyapatite, while the remaining 20 in the test group were coated with a novel electrochemical Smart Bioactive Trabecular Coating (SBTC®). A split-mouth design was employed, with each participants receiving one control implant in one mandibular side and a test implant in the other. To mitigate potential operator-handedness bias, control and test implants were randomly assigned to mandibular sides. All cases underwent digital planning, implant placement with a static surgical guide, and participants received locator-anchored full-arch dentures. The primary outcome was implant stability (measured using Osstell ISQ) assessed at insertion, loading, and then 3 months, 9 months, and 2 years post-insertion. The secondary outcome was bone level change (in millimeters) over the 2-year observation period. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQL) was monitored using the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Complications and adverse events were recorded.
    Results: Successful osseointegration and implant stability were achieved in all cases, allowing loading. ISQ values steadily increased throughout the observation period. While no significant differences were observed between the SBTC® and control coatings, the test group exhibited a higher ISQ gain. Bone resorption was somewhat lower in the SBTC® but not significantly so. Patients' OHRQL significantly improved after denture delivery and remained stable throughout the follow-up. No complications or adverse events were observed.
    Conclusions: Based on the study results, we conclude that the new surface treatment is a safe alternative to the widely used control surface, demonstrating similar osseointegrative properties and time-dependent bone level changes. Further research may explore the broader implications of these findings.
    Trial registration: The study is registered on clinicaltrials.gov under the identifier ID: NCT06034171.

    Abstract Surgical guides and three-dimensional (3D) planning softwares used in everyday dental implantology open new possibilities in other fields of dentistry. While using the operation microscope in endodontic microsurgery provides more precise apicectomy, there is still no consent on the exact localisation and size of the bony window to be prepared for this surgery. Our aim is to describe a new, guided endodontic microsurgery method when osteotomy and apicectomy are planned in a 3D software and performed with a trephine bur. Based on data from Cone Beam Computed Tomography, planning of the surgical guide was performed with a 3D planning software (Smart Guide, dicomLAB, Hungary) in order to define the size of the bony window, the angulation and the depth of the trephine bur during the apicectomy. After preparing a mucoperiosteal flap, with the help of the dentally supported surgical guide, the trephine bur removes the cortical bone and the apex of the root simultaniously. Following the modern microsurgical protocol, after performing the ultrasonic retrograde preparation, mineral trioxide aggregate (ProRoot MTA; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) is placed as a retrograde filling to close the resected area. After the uneventful healing period, a complete bony regeneration can be seen on the 1-year follow up X-ray. The patient is symptom-free. This technique is considered to be faster and more precise than the non-guided endodontic microsurgery carried out without the utilization of a trephine bur. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(30): 1260-1265.

    Abstract Background: Heartburn is identically the key symptom of both, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and functional heartburn (FHB), making the differential diagnosis resource-intensive. Oral manifestations of GERD can be easily examined; therefore, their exploration might be a cheap, widely available, and useful tool in the differentiation of GERD and FHB.
    Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of dental erosions (DE) and periodontal diseases (PD) in patients with heartburn and their association with GERD and FHB.
    Methods: A total of 116 [M/F: 51/65, mean age: 54 (17-80) years] consecutive patients with heartburn were enrolled for detailed esophageal function and orodental examinations.
    Results: Dental disorders were detected in 89% (103/116). Patients with PD + DE had significantly more often pathologic reflux (90.0%
    Conclusion: The dental evaluation of patients with heartburn seems to be useful in the differential diagnosis of GERD and FHB. Among the studied parameters, the co-appearance of DE and PD seems to be the best predictor of GERD, whereas the absence of dental disorders was mostly observed in FHB.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to identify the key aspects of patients' dental care experience that influenced their self-perceived satisfaction and loyalty. Also examined was the agreement between patients and dentists regarding these factors.
    Methods: Questionnaires were administered to 1121 patients and 77 dentists, focusing on demographic information and 15 selected items related to the patients' last dental visit. Descriptive and linear regression analyses were conducted.
    Results: The study included participants from 41 practices. Factors significantly influencing satisfaction and loyalty included location convenience, treatment quality, trust in dentists' decisions, visit frequency satisfaction, clear treatment explanations, dentist's interest in symptoms, patient-dental personnel attachment, and dentist's knowledge of the patient and their medical records. While overall agreement between patients and dentists was high, some areas exhibited notable disagreement.
    Conclusions: The findings mostly align with existing literature, underscoring the importance of communication, trust, and a personal patient-dentist relationship in promoting satisfaction and loyalty. However, they also show that local, generally not reported factors might be at play, which necessitates dentists' awareness and consideration of the local context for optimal outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: Apicoectomy is an endodontic surgical intervention that requires high precision. The computer-assisted static guided approach has proven to increase the precision of dental implantation in a significant manner. The authors sought to transfer this precision to root-end resection with the use of custom designed trephine burs manufactured specifically for use in targeted endodontic microsurgery.
    Methods: A set of custom bone trephines were designed and manufactured, then their digital models were integrated into an already existing implant surgical planning software, in cooperation with the software developer. Apicoectomy was performed in an actual case with the help of the new system.
    Results: It has become possible to plan root end removal in the virtual space and to manufacture 3D printed static surgical guides to help the execution of the surgery. A patient with persistent periapical lesion was successfully treated without complication. The 6-month follow-up found uneventful healing.
    Conclusion: The presented system is a step toward a standardized digital system and workflow dedicated to guided endodontic surgery.

    Abstract Background: In the last three decades there is a growing recognition in the dental profession that dental education must go beyond teaching the technicalities of dentistry and include professionalism and communication skills that the future dentist may need. Such skills are best taught in a student-centered way. Literature suggests that student-centered elements are difficult to introduce in traditional, teacher-centered curricula. This is especially true in post-communist countries where higher education was under strict state control for decades. The aim of the piece of research presented here was to investigate how difficult it is to introduce a student-centered career skills course in a traditionally teacher-centered dental curriculum.
    Methods: Considering the needs of our final-year dental students and Super's model of career development, we created an undergraduate curricular career skills course running for two semesters in two languages (Hungarian and English). The primary aim of the course is to help students with their career expectations and develop their identity as a professional workforce. The secondary aim is to teach skills that students can use when applying for a job. At the end of the semesters, we assessed our students' satisfaction with various aspects of the course by using a questionnaire. Results were analyzed item-wise and according to the main aspects of the course (i.e., groups of items organized around a particular aspect).
    Results: General satisfaction with the course was high, and practical skills training (such as CV and motivation letter writing) got the highest scores. From the answers it appears that the students were the least comfortable with having to deal with their personal values and preferences.
    Conclusions: While it is common for universities to offer various forms of career intervention, to our knowledge, no other university offers a curricular career skills course specifically for dental students. Our student-centered course designed in a problem-based learning framework worked even in a traditionally teacher-centered educational environment, where university students are rarely encouraged to be active participants in courses. By sharing our experience, we would like to encourage our fellow dental educators working in similar environments to devise and offer such courses.

    Abstract Background: Root-end resection is an endodontic surgical intervention that requires high precision so that all ramifications and lateral canals so as infected tissues are eliminated. An exploratory study was conducted to justify the clinical safety and accuracy of guided root-end resection with a trephine.
    Methods: Fourteen root-end resections were performed in 11 patients. With the aid of computer tomography and rapid prototyping a stereolithographically fabricated, tooth-supported surgical template was used to guide trephinations. Surgery was performed using the printed surgical stent and a trephine was used not only for the osteotomy but for the root end resection as well.
    Results: The root end was successfully and completely resected by the trephine in all cases. No intraoperative complications were observed in any of the cases, and the patients were free of symptoms indicating recurrence or complications at the 6-month follow-up. The median angular deviation of the trephination was 3.95° (95% CI: 2.1-5.9), comparable to the angular deviation of guided implant surgery. The mean apex removal error (ARE) was 0.19 mm (95% CI: 0.03-0.07). The mean osteotomy depth error (ODE) was 0.37 mm (95% CI: 0.15-1.35). Overpenetration was a characteristic finding, which indicates the necessity of a stop-trephine.
    Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, we conclude that our results support the use of guided trephination for root-end resection.
