Here are the results of The Dentistry Top 50 – as voted by you!
The Dentistry Top 50 is not centred around clinical excellence or political clout.
It’s a review of who the profession itself feels are having an impact across the board, whether that be through the growth of corporate dentistry, fighting for a better deal or inspiring other dentists through teaching influence.
Dental professionals have voted in their thousands – and the results are fascinating.
