To enable decision making in clinical practice, research has to be reported clearly, transparently, and provide sufficient information to the readers. Although journals in dentistry have endorsed various reporting guidelines specific to different study designs, the quality of the published literature in Pediatric Dentistry has been found to be suboptimal. This presentation introduces the new initiative named RAPID (Reporting stAndards for research in PedIatric Dentistry) aimed to improve the quality of research reporting. The RAPID comprises of checklist items under 10 different themes in Pediatric Dentistry that were developed using pre-defined expert consensus-based Delphi process. The RAPID has been endorsed by the EQUATOR network. For further details, please visit: www.rapid-statement.org.
