I have run the Dentist column in Orvosok Lapja for years, and looking back at the pieces, an arc emerges. The early articles dealt with the regulatory landscape — EESZT, online invoicing, the employment-status law — then came the coronavirus and the reorganisation of dental care. I wrote a lot about practice communities and the financing of dental primary care, because I believe this is where it's decided whether accessible care survives the next decade. School dentistry and orthodontics are recurring themes, as is chamber public life and what's at stake in elections. I also interviewed defining figures of the profession — Ákos Nagy, Péter Kivovics, Katalin Nagy. Here is the full archive by year, downloadable as PDF and as editable DOCX, complemented by a few opinion pieces published in the press.
