EditorialAbstract
Scientific publications are not exempt from containing false information, and the dental profession can be a victim of the distortions that some media promote on their networks. On the other hand, truthful publications, focused on data, do not seem to provoke the same interest in readers, despite disseminating reliable and relevant findings. Thus, the scientific community is faced with the dilemma of how to disseminate valuable and timely knowledge that fights against misinformation.
