How do we end up with the

INTRO


About this issue 

The story behind the stories in our year-end issue.



I

t’s tradition to explain just how we come to the list that makes up our Top 100 

each year. Dental Products Report published its frst “Trends in Dentistry” 

issue in December 1984. For almost as long, the magazine has used the Decem-

ber issue to showcase products that received the highest reader response over the 

course of the year.   

Five years ago, as part of the redesign process for DPR, we also “redesigned” 

the Top 100. We concluded that 100 products written out didn’t necessarily create 

value; all it created was a list. In an effort to make the Top 100 issue “something 

to savor and not just fip through,” we decided that 100 was still meaningful, but 

how we got to that number had to change. Instead of focusing on 100 products 

overall, this year the list includes specifc products, the articles and videos that 

captured your attention throughout the year, top how-tos demonstrating products 

in use, top webinars and e-books and, of course, the women and men who create 

the products and transform smiles.  

Why those 10 or these 5?   

 The criteria for each specifc list is included as part of the layout, but you need to 

know that this compilation represents feedback from you, our readers and users, 

the insight of our editorial team and conversations with key opinion leaders we 

trust. Our hope is that breaking the Top 100 into smaller Top 10 and Top 5 lists 

creates a more digestible format that allows you to engage more deeply with the 

content. Any list that includes the phrase “most viewed” or “most popular” is 

based on reader interest as measured through traffc at dentalproductsreport.com 

and practicemanagement.dentalproductsreport.com and engagement through 

our social media channels. It’s important to note that the recognition of these 

products and people isn’t an unqualifed endorsement by DPR, and we don’t 

present it as a completely comprehensive review of products in the industry.  



the best in how-to  

We monitor our reader interest in various features in two main ways: First, we 

track the performance of articles on the Web--what is being viewed, liked, com-

mented on and shared? Second, we invest in a readership study conducted by a 

third-party vendor that asks subscribers what they prioritize and value in DPR’s 

content mix. The amazing thing is, no matter how we ask or who we ask, our 

techniques, case studies and how-to pieces are the top requested, best read and 

most valued. Knowing that, this issue features the Top 10 How-To pieces from 

2014, which include print techniques, Morning Huddle and Technique Geek 

videos, and other web-exclusive content.



Agree or disagree? 

This year, our online promotion of the different lists will be not just a platform 

for sharing the news, but we hope a platform for conversation on what belongs 

on each list. Who do you think should have been recognized as a Top Person 

Behind the Scenes? What product should have been an Editors’ Choice? We want 

to know what you think. Your feedback is the lifeblood of what we do—not just 

in this special issue, but year-round. We’re proud of what we’ve put together for 

you this month, and we look forward to the debates over who and what should 

have been on the list(s). Don’t be shy—chime in!
