[Review of scientific articles on complete edentulousness, published in the journal Fogorvosi Szemle].
This publication is an assessment of scientific articles published in the Fogorvosi Szemle over the last 120 years dealing with the evolution of complete dentures and the treatment of complete edentulousness. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed to find the annual average number of scientific articles and to find the authors who published the most in this topic. Publications had been collected and categorized according to author, year and subject and an extensive comparative analysis was carried out. Nineteen authors had four or more first author publications during this time period. According to content, publications were divided into four major groups. Finally, the research activity of three academic scholars, Imre Kemény, Miklós Kaán and Géza Prágai, was introduced briefly based on their articles published in the Fogorvosi Szemle. All of them have contributed significantly to the scientific advance and the academic education of complete prosthetics.
