Ten Hungarian and two English program students participated, namely Luise Paeßens and Melanie Tscharnke. One of the Hungarian students was a guest applicant from a fellow faculty. The presentations discussed many dental topics, from TMJ disfunction to the efficiency of periodontal treatments, from endo-restaurative techniques to dental implant integration. We were happy to acknowledge that not only in vitro, but also in vivo experiments took place leading up to the presented studies.

Our jury consisted of researchers as well as clinicians. The head of the jury was Dr. Krisztina Buzás Ph.D. research fellow, along with Prof. Dr. Melinda Madléna, head of the Department of Orthodontic and Pediatric Dentisrty and Dr. Anette Stájer Ph.D. assistant professor.

During the awarding ceremony our dean, Dr. Kinga Turzó was handing out the awards.
