Two devices measuring HbA1c concentration are to be installed at Semmelweis University\u2019s Department of Oro-Maxillofacial Surgery and Stomatology which will be used in surgical interventions of diabetic patients. The devices that will also be available for use in dental screening at the partner institutions, were procured with the help of Dr. \u00c1d\u00e1m V\u00e9gh, resident and the winner of this year\u2019s fellowship programme of the Dr. Andr\u00e1s Kor\u00e1nyi Foundation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Dr. \u00c1d\u00e1m V\u00e9gh, resident at Semmelweis University\u2019s Department of Oro-Maxillofacial Surgery and Stomatology has won the fellowship programme of the Dr. Andr\u00e1s Kor\u00e1nyi Foundation. He spent the monetary reward of the recognition to purchase two HbA1c measuring devices from 77 Elektronika Kft., which he will use in his PhD research to examine diabetic patients. The successful application was supported professionally by Dr. Zsolt N\u00e9meth, Director of the department.<\/p>\n

In only two minutes, the device is able to detect haemoglobin A1c, which is the three-month average of the patient\u2019s blood sugar level. Previously a lab test was needed and the results were available only 24 hours later. High level of haemoglobin A1c in diabetic patients undergoing dental surgery increases the chance of complications; it may cause problems with bleeding, the dental implant may cause inflammation, adverse reactions in the oral cavity or fungus may develop and the chance of developing oral tumours increase as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"Dr. \u00c1d\u00e1m V\u00e9gh is member of the Diabetes Dental Research Group headed by Dr. D\u00e1niel V\u00e9gh. According to Dr. D\u00e1niel V\u00e9gh, the university\u2019s departments will have the opportunity to send patients recently diagnosed with Type I diabetes to dental screening.<\/p>\n

\u201cTesting is provided by the research group at specialist clinics after booking an appointment. In addition to the support of the Hungarian Diabetes Society, this project is implemented with the professional assistance of Dr. Anik\u00f3 Somogyi, Dr. P\u00e9ter Hermann, Dr. P\u00e9ter Kempler, Dr. P\u00e9ter T\u00f3th Heyn and Dr. J\u00e1nos Kis.\u201d, Saif Dr. D\u00e1niel V\u00e9gh.<\/p>\n

With the procurement of the devices Semmelweis University\u2019s Diabetes Dentistry Research Group have introduced a unique examination protocol for the dental examination and treatment of diabetic patients. The aim of the research group is to enable all newly diagnosed diabetic patients to participate in yearly dental counselling. Dr. D\u00e1niel V\u00e9gh, assistant professor at the Department of Prosthodontics talked about the research group\u2019s recent activities.\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to scientific research, the research group have conducted clinical patient examinations in the field, several international articles have been published, one PhD project has been concluded and two are in progress.\u201d, said Dr. D\u00e1niel V\u00e9gh.<\/p>\n

The research group were the first in Hungary to organise free dental counselling at diabetes events, which was made possible by the acquisition of a mobile dental screening unit within a grant application at the Faculty of Dentistry.<\/p>\n
