Introduction and Aim: Delayed-onset infection was defined as an infectious swelling and trismus accompained by pain or the presence of suppuration starting after the discharge of the patient, generally a week after surgery. Our aim was to describe incidence and possible risk factors of delayed-onset infection after lower wisdoom tooth removal., Material and Methods: Retrospective study of 851 lower third molar surgeries, performed between January 2013 and August 2017 at Semmelweis University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oro-Maxillofacial Surgery and Stomatology, has been done. The teeth were removed by 2 surgeons. Under age of 26, a case-control study comprising a total of 150 lower third molar surgeries were done to indentify possible risk factors., Results: 10 delayed-onset wound infections were recorded after suture removal (1.17% of the patients). The mean time elapsing from surgery to delayed-onset infection was 30 days. Lower third molars with total soft tissue coverage, a bigger amount of bone coverage, a lack of distal space (Pell-Gregory class III), deeper impaction (Pell-Gregory classes B, C) or mesioangular tilt are associated with the development of this complication (p<0.05). Female sex and young age seem to be risk factors, too., Conclusion: Patients with risk factors should be warned that infection may still occur several weeks after surgery. The clinicians should observe these patients longer and emphasize keeping their wound clean for a prolonged period. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(31): 1278-1283.

Introduction and Aim: The study compares the antibiotic prophylaxis combined with postoperative antibiotic therapy to preoperative chlorhexidine rinse combined with postoperative antibiotic therapy in preventing complications after surgical removal of a mandibular third molar., Method: 71 healthy patients in four groups were enrolled in the study: I. prophylactic dose of 2000 mg of amoxicillin clavulanate, continued with amoxicillin clavulanate postoperatively; II. prophylactic dose of 600 mg of clindamycin, continued with clindamycin postoperatively; III. prophylactic chlorhexidin rinsing, continued randomized amoxicillin clavulanate or clindamycin postoperatively; IV. control, with clindamycin postoperatively., Results: The pain was smaller in the prophylaxis groups. Alveolitis occurred only in the control group: 2 patients. Wound opening occurred in 22,2 % in group IV., 14,2 % in group II, 10 % in group I., 5 % in group III., Conclusion: We consider completing the indicated postoperative antibiotic prescription with antibiotic or antiseptic prophylaxis. Chlorhexidin prophylaxis could have the same positive effect. Orv. Hetil., 2017, 158(1), 13-19.

Introduction: The health status of doctors, nurses and any other professionals working in the healthcare sector influences the quality of their work. Therefore, health promotion of healthcare workers is not only an occupational health program but it can be considered as an action towards improving the quality of care., Aim: The current study was designed to assess the efficacy of a health promotion intervention among healthcare workers after health status assessment., Method: Before and after the intervention a self-assessment questionnaire-based health survey and physical status examination were performed. Members of the intervention group were offered to use fitness facilities, professional psychological help, dietary counselling, and dental consultation., Results: The intervention program lasted for 12 months with the participation of 79 health care professionals (based on their decision being in the intervention or in the control group). Significant decrease was found in the abdominal perimeter in participants of the intervention group and they ran a longer distance on the 12 minute-long-run test at the end of the study., Conclusions: The positive effect of regular physical exercise as part of active lifestyle has been demonstrated not only in the increase of physical capacity, but in the change of body shape, as well.

Introduction: The changing of the family medicine can be observed in the New Millennium. Migration, the aging of the healers and informal payment are crucial to the human resource crisis of the health sector., Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the family physicians' and residents' opinions about the vocation and informal payment., Method: Exploratory, quantitative study was carried out among family physicians (n = 363) and family physician residents (n = 180). The central questions of the study were the vocation, the income and the informal payment., Results: The most decisive factors of the carrier choice were altruism, service and responsibility. Residents were significantly rejective (19.7% vs. 38.3%, p<0.001) about informal payment. They would accept smaller amounts of informal payment (14.3% vs. 8.9%, p<0.034), and would spend it on praxis development (1.4% vs.9.4% p<0.023)., Conclusions: The attitudes of family physicians and residents are the same in case of the vocation, but on the issue of informal payment, the two generations have different opinions.
