title: [Continuing dental education in Hungary from the beginnings to the turn of the millenium--for the 80th anniversary of birth and 15th anniversary of death of Professor Dr. Sándor Orsós].
abstract: The history of continuing dental education in Hungary has had a close relationship with continuing medical education. In the beginning continuing education had been voluntary and occasional and it obtained its real professional merits only during the first half of the 20th century. Nevertheless the legal background of the regular continuing education was only established after World War II, when a special institute for the organization and monitoring was founded, also. In Hungary the traditional old system survived 10 years after the regime change.
