Abstract

Researchers compete to publish high-quality manuscripts that may contribute to the medical literature in a meaningful way. However, the robustness of the methodologies, novelty of the results, and significance of the postulated reearch questions govern the citbility of any article. This short report highlights the top cited articles in dentistry sorted on themes, specialties and publishing journals.
