Summary Dentistry was separated in the middle ages and modern times not out of medicine but of chirurgy, which was excluded from the medicinal science in the mentioned periods too. The history of dentistry has two important landmarks: in 1530 has appeared the first odontological book written in German (in a national language!) and in 1728 was published a standard work of P. Fauchard (1690—1761) on modern odontology. The first dental training school was founded in 1839 in Baltimore. The establishes were physicians, who wanted to realize the dental training at the medical faculty, but the university gave no possibility for it. The first school worked successfully and got many followers and resulted in establishing many schools and academies for dental training. In many countries of Europe were founded on private initiatives institutes and clinics, which later amalgamated with the medical faculty of the university. In contradiction to the academical dental training it was beginning to take shape the stomatological idea, which prescribes) only a med. univ., a general practitioner can be a dentist. The training of surgeons (magister chirurgiae) began in Hungary in 1770 at the medical faculty of University (Nagyszombat). In 1814 was started the training of civil surgeons (patrónus chirurgiae) at the university of Buda (moved here from Nagyszombat). From the school-year 1799/1800 till 1896 there was a possibility at the university to pass the examen prescribed for dentists (magister artis dentariae). The first professor ot dentistry at the University of Budapest Döme Nedelko {1812—1882); he began to hold his lectures in 1841, but he had no institute or clinic. József Árkövy (1851 —1922) was the first, who opened a private dental clinic in Pest in 1881. The Dental Institute of University was opened in 1890 and from 1909 it is functioning in a greater building as Stomatological Clinic. Its first director was Árkövy, who trained few specialists but on a high level. The training of Hungarian dentists went through many reforms and a new epoch was following from 1953. Since this year the dentists are trained at the Medical University but at a special and independent faculty. The first dean of this new faculty was Dr. med. Károly Balogh. Since 1962 even more students are trained of the University of Szeged. Hungary has now already enough well-trained specialists in dentistry.
