[Dental research in the Netherlands. Citations in publications].
This study examines the citation frequency (via the Science Citation Index) of publications by Dutch dental scientists that have appeared in the international literature since World War II. It was found that most citations were obtained by a relatively small group of researchers, many of them working in the fields of cariology and periodontology. High scores were particularly found among scientists who had their academic training in disciplines other than dentistry. Out of 109 frequently cited papers over 25% was microbiology-oriented and most of them could be characterized as original basic dental research.
