The network has published its research in a total of 68 different peer-reviewed scientific journals. These journals comprise a wide range of scientific disciplines.

In the early years of the network, the Texas Dental Journal and Northwest Dentistry also asked to re-publish several network articles. However, we do not count these as peer-reviewed publications; instead we include them in the list of non-peer-reviewed articles.  Unfortunately, some non-Network investigators cited these secondary sources instead of the original articles, so we have since stopped re-publishing any of our articles.

The network uses the NIH iCite tool to estimate mean citations per year, overall and by study, and Relative Citation Ratios (RCR). The ICite tool uses PMID numbers to estimate the ratio of an article’s citation rate to its expected citation rate, adjusting for the average and expected citation rates for the field for equivalent time periods.  We provide an Appendix with RCR results for each network manuscript.

Two tables accompany this article. The first table shows predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics of persons in the sample, by race. The second table shows a “parsimonious” regression of receipt of extraction or root canal treatment during follow-up, in which only two variables (worst periodontal attachment loss and the CHOICE variable) are modeled as predictors of this outcome. The model fit of this regression model (Model 3 in the table labeled A2) is statistically the same as the model fit in Model 2 of the same table.
