  • Family medicine (6.21%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Dentistry, Caries management, Family medicine, Disease and MEDLINE are his primary areas of study. John D. B. Featherstone combines subjects such as Young adult, Randomized controlled trial and Retrospective cohort study with his study of Dentistry. His research integrates issues of Molar, Mandibular second molar, Clinical trial and Fluoride varnish in his study of Randomized controlled trial.

His Retrospective cohort study research also works with subjects such as

  • Cohort study that intertwine with fields like Cumulative incidence, Pediatrics, Confidence interval and Co2 laser,
  • Epidemiology that connect with fields like Oral and maxillofacial surgery. His work on Preventive Dentistry as part of his general Family medicine study is frequently connected to Receipt, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. The various areas that he examines in his Disease study include Intervention, Psychological intervention and Intensive care medicine.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Caries management pathways preserve dental tissues and promote oral health. (90 citations)
  • The american dental association caries classification system for clinical practice: A report of the american dental association council on scientific affairs (66 citations)
  • Risk assessment - can we achieve consensus? (56 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Dentistry
  • Biochemistry

John D. B. Featherstone mainly investigates Dentistry, MEDLINE, Confidence interval, Psychological intervention and Cohort study. His study in the field of Chlorhexidine is also linked to topics like Clinical Practice. His studies deal with areas such as Cumulative incidence and Saliva as well as Confidence interval.

His Saliva research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Prospective cohort study and Early childhood caries. The study incorporates disciplines such as Graduation, Disease and Family medicine in addition to Psychological intervention. His work carried out in the field of Randomized controlled trial brings together such families of science as Fluoride varnish, Molar and Co2 laser.
