Dental implants in Hungary
Let us introduce you to the dental tourism of Hungary and its capital city Budapest, which some say is steadily becoming the dental capital of the world. Dental care in Hungary is of outstanding quality thanks to its world-renowned medical education. As a response to the increasing demand, more and more dentists specialise in implantology. A rising number of clinics are available, offering exceptional dental care with the most advanced equipment and technology. Yet the prices are really competitive due to the low incomes and cheap labour of this area. Following Mexico, Hungary is the second most popular destination of dental tourists from around the globe and the top destination for European dental travelers, with 42 per cent of them choosing this country to have dental work in. Most of the patients from all around the world are considering dental implants in Budapest (Hungary) which is the most commonly performed procedure at Hungarian dental clinics.
Dental tourism here had started 10-15 years before it did in any other nations, and first spread along the western border when Austrians then Germans and Italians discovered the benefits of having their dental therapy a few miles away, in Hungary. Later as patients from other European countries became aware of the cost-effective Hungarian dental care, the centre of dentistry gradually moved to Budapest. In order to maintain its leading position, the country applies strict dental regulations and provides special ’dental packages’ with the arrangement of the whole stay from departure to arriving home, including plane tickets, hotel reservation, appointments with the doctor, the treatment itself, even leisure activities and 24-hour emergency assistance. Tourists come mainly from the United Kingdom and also Ireland, France, Scandinavian countries, Austria and Italy.
Are dental implants abroad safe?
There are several pieces of information and misinformation about the cleanliness of clinics and the safety of treatments of developing countries. As a matter of fact, figures show that they are neither more dangerous nor less professional than Western European clinics. Furthermore, Hungary and Poland are members of the European Union and they have set up standards in accordance with EU health care policy. Additionally, most of the dental works carry a guarantee so that if any complications arise, the clinics, of course, treat all the disorders, usually without charging any additional fee; and some of them even reimburse travel costs.

Más riesgos de la gingivitis durante el embarazo (En inglés)

Because of hormonal changes, women are prone to develop gum disease – generally treatable – during pregnancy. “The old wives’ tale about losing a tooth for each baby – we have shown how with periodontal [gum] disease and other underlying conditions [mother’s health], you may lose more than just the tooth, but also the baby,” Yiping Han, a periodontics researcher at US-based Case Western Reserve University, told IRIN.
Gum bleeding can carry bacteria to the placenta – which it can penetrate and kill the foetus if the mother’s immune system does not fight back, according to recent researchHan conducted of a woman who had severe gingivitis during her pregnancy. “The mother delivered her full-term baby dead at 39 weeks,” Han told IRIN. The researcher found the same bacteria in the mother’s dental plaque as was in the baby’s infected lungs and stomach.
Even if dental germs do not result in death, they can contribute to delivery complications and long-term health problems for the child, said Steven Offenbacher, director of Center for Oral and Systemic Diseases at the University of North Carolina. “Forty percent of foetuses are exposed to dental bacteria… These babies are three times more likely to be born early, to spend more time in neonatal units and to have long-term disability,” he told IRIN.
Countries with high rates of premature births also tend to have a high prevalence of gum disease, Han told IRIN. “Oral health care is typically seen as a luxury in poor countries, when in fact, it is the gateway to overall health. The closed mouth hides the often overlooked threat of oral bacteria on a pregnancy.”
Each year an estimated 13 million babies – mostly in sub-Saharan Africa – are born before 37 weeks of pregnancy; one million of these die, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). More than three million full-term stillbirths occur annually worldwide.
Offenbacher said preterm deliveries and stillbirths have many causes and it is difficult to isolate one risk from another.
Periodontal Treatment
But there is mounting research that successful periodontal treatment can reduce premature births, according to the University of Pennsylvania, whichrecently presented its study of 872 pregnant women with and without the disease.
Twenty-three percent of those with gum disease delivered before 35 weeks versus 7 percent without the condition. Those who received treatment had a medically “significant” lower incidence of preterm births, lead researcher, Marjorie Jeffcoat, told IRIN. “We believe the results would be applicable to babies worldwide and would be happy to work with any doctor who would like to study this effect in their country.”
Sierra Leone
In Sierra Leone, which has one of the world’s highest infant mortality rates – 159 for every 1,000 live births based on the most recent government data from 2006 – the Health Ministry has not considered periodontal disease a major risk in pregnancy. S.A.S. Kargbo , the ministry’s reproductive health specialist, said the association between periodontal disease and pregnancy complications is a “hypothesis” and he does not know of any cases.
But without epidemiological studies or enough human resources, it is hard to prove the link between gum disease and pregnancy complications, researcher Han told IRIN. “And without that data in hand, it is hard to convince countries to devote more resources to periodontal care in an effort to reduce their infant mortality rate.”
Sierra Leone had five dentists – about one for every one million residents – in 2004, according to the most recently available government records.
“If a country is determined to bring down its infant mortality rate, periodontal disease is a well-documented risk that can derail a healthy pregnancy and deserves further examination,” Han said.
