title: [The beginnings of independent dental education at the Medical University of Budapest].
abstract: Independent dental education in Hungary has been started in September 1952 at the University of Budapest. The previous system based on a diploma in general medicine + a postgraduate-specialist education has been stopped, although the claim on dentists has grown significantly in the country. The Dental Section of the Medical-Health Trade Union with the aim to solve this problem, accepted the establishment of an independent dental faculty within the Medical University of Budapest. The educational reform became realised in 1952 by an official regulation. The new class started to study at the Clinic of Stomatology, taught by the staff of the clinic.
