Two papers from A/P Vinicius Rosa have starred the list with the top 25 cited articles in Dental Materials published since 2017. The journal is the official publication of the Academy of Dental Materials and has the third highest impact factor in Dentistry. The full list of most-cited Dental Materials articles can be found here.
The review article Graphene for the development of the next-generation of biocomposites for dental and medical applications received 190% more citations than the average number of citations received by papers published in dental journals.
Despite this exciting outcome, it is the original research paper, CVD-grown monolayer graphene induces osteogenic but not odontoblastic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells that has become a major hit in the literature. It is ranked in the top 2% most-cited papers in Dentistry and top 10% in Materials Science published in 2017, receiving 410% more citations than the average article in Dentistry.
In October 2018, two other papers from A/P Rosa were included in the list of the 100 most cited paper in the area of Regenerative Endodontics published by the Journal of Endodontics.
A/P Rosa has pioneered the applications of graphene in Dentistry and the findings of his work can be found in lead journals like Carbon1, Nanotoxicology2 and the most recent paper was published in in Journal of Dental Research3 in January 2020.
