INNOVATION·IN·DENTISTRY

Week to 27 September 2026

This week in dentistry.

Who turned up, who is on stage next, which numbers moved, who went quiet, and every episode that came out. Built from our own pages the morning after they were scored, and every line of it links to the page it came from.

People

New names, and who kept turning up

Pages that did not exist last week, people the guest matcher named for the first time, and the names that came up most.

New pages

Named most often

Matched by full name against the pages we already publish. A partial match is never merged, so somebody can be on an episode this week and not in this list.

27 September 2026 to 11 October 2026

What moved

Every number on this site is worked out again each week from public sources. Here is what changed since the last run, and which piece of the score did it.

139 of 1724 pages carry a number, up from 139 last run. Nobody starts with one. We score a page once three independent sources back it up.

Places gained and lost

Place counted among the 139 pages carrying a number, best first. A page with no number is not last, it is unplaced.

The method is published and it changes. Both runs above used v1.2, so what moved here is the people and the sources, not the measure.Read what we measure

Still going?

Who went quiet, and who came back

A show is quiet once it has published nothing for 90 days. We check that every week, which nobody else does, and we say it out loud whichever way it goes.
