Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The document discusses a partnership involving Special Olympics, organized dentistry, the community, and two dental schools to address the oral health disparities faced by individuals with special needs, particularly those with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD). It highlights the challenges these individuals face in accessing appropriate dental care due to a lack of specialized resources and providers. The partnership's efforts include providing free dental services through events like the one held on June 10, 2023, where dental students and professionals offered comprehensive care to underserved populations. Despite these efforts, the document emphasizes the ongoing need for systemic changes to improve access to dental care for marginalized groups.
