The replication crisis, which has significantly impacted various scientific disciplines, including medicine and behavioral sciences, has also influenced dental research methods. This crisis, characterized by the failure to reproduce a substantial portion of important findings, has highlighted several methodological issues within dental research. For instance, the crisis has underscored the prevalence of questionable research practices such as selective reporting and p-hacking, where researchers manipulate data to achieve statistically significant results
