Dental Materials Blog: Year 1

It has been a year since I started writing on this blog. During this first year, nearly 6700 visits and 12000 pageviews have been made by more than 5300 unique visitors. The average number of visits per day has been increasing constantly and currently is 17.70. What I am particularly proud is that one fifth of all visitors have returned and visited the blog more than once. Another important figure is that visitors come from more than 120 countries in the world (Figure 1.). The importance of this information is not so much related to the blog itself, but shows that in almost every corner of the Earth people search for dental information and want to expand their knowledge.

The most frequently visited posts are related to MTA in endodontics and the list of free full texts, self-adhering composite Vertise Flow and nano-filled, resin-modified glass ionomer Ketac N100. Likewise, the most frequently used keywords are "dental materials", ""MTA dental material", ""MTA dental", "mineral trioxide aggregate",  "Vertise Flow"...

Comments were disabled for most of the year, because I haven't noticed there was a problem, but a visitor drew my attention to it. Comments are now fixed and those received so far are all very positive.

I would like to encourage fellow researchers and clinicians to contribute to the Dental Materials Blog with their own posts, it is free and the choice of topics is entirely up to the authors.

For that, I must say congratulation for consistently maintaining your dental sites for more than a year. That surely takes a lot of patience and hard work.
