The Article Rating for WikiProject Dentistry is modeled on WikiProject Medicine's efforts to rate all related articles based on quality and importance. All articles within the scope of WikiProject Dentistry are eligible for rating. Since the study and practice of dentistry covers many topics, some articles may be shared with other WikiProjects. Working with other projects to improve shared articles will hopefully increase the quality of those articles. If any question arises on how to deal with a shared article, then the two projects can work together on the issue.
The quality scale uses Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale, and the importance scale uses another of Wikipedia 1.0's criteria. In order to help categorize articles related to dentistry, just paste the appropriate template on the article's talk page.
