Overview

Top Research Topics at International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry?

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Dentistry, Implant, Orthodontics, Soft tissue and Surgery. The Dentistry works featured in it incorporate elements from Osseointegration, Connective tissue and Radiography. The in-depth study on Implant also explores topics in the intersecting field of Maxilla.

While it focused on Soft tissue, it was also able to explore topics like Buccal administration and Surgical Flaps. The majority of Surgery studies are focused on the issues of Sinus (anatomy). Alveolar Ridge Augmentation is a major topic of Bone regeneration research.

It explores research in Alveolar Ridge Augmentation and the adjacent study of Alveolar ridge. In particular, the Gingival recession works presented emphasize discussions on Root coverage.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 95.15% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 80.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 20.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Career Opportunities for Graduates and Professionals in Dentistry

There are immense career opportunities in the field of dentistry stretching beyond clinical practice. Pursuing a career in dentistry does not always limit one to private practice. Dentistry provides several opportunities for research, education, public health, oral healthcare management, and military service. Graduates and professionals in dentistry also have the advantage of seeking dual careers integrating zones of law, business, and public policy with dental medicine.

A significant path for graduates in dentistry is obtaining licensure and practicing as dentists. Varied licensing requirements exist based on geographical location. For instance, the Rhode Island nursing license requirements can vary slightly compared to other states in terms of cost, qualifications, and the time required to obtain the license.

Besides general dentistry, there are specialties and subspecialties, such as oral surgery and orthodontics which necessitate additional training and offer lucrative career opportunities.

Researchers have an essential role in contributing towards the growth and development of dental science. They dedicate themselves to explore various fields ranging from new surgical techniques, design of innovative equipment and tools, discovering anesthetic drugs, to understanding dental diseases and finding their cure. Many such researchers publish their findings and contribute their knowledge to the scientific community by publishing in reputable journals such as the International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry.

Similarly, education is another arena in dentistry. Teaching and training future dentists are crucial responsibilities as it helps in advancing the profession and providing oral healthcare services in the community.

Therefore, the profession of dentistry provides diverse career alternatives, making it an attractive field for students and professional alike. It is an exciting field that continually evolves and improves the oral healthcare of individuals and communities.
