It is necessary for the editorial staff to remove itself from policing the content or images used in various ads or marketing campaigns. Any reader with a complaint should contact the manufacturer directly. Our editorial process The dental profession and the publications that cover it have no shortage of dental professionals ready to share their expertise. DPR sets itself apart with an editorial team comprised of journalists, not dentists. Each month, we reach out to a wide variety of voices to help tell the story of innovation in the dental profession. We don’t assume we know all the answers; we are, instead, committed to asking the right questions and delivering unbiased, quality content. None of the articles you read are “paid for,” but as a product-centric magazine, working closely with our manufacturing partners is an important part of the process.
