Aim: This study aimed to calculate the scientific output of researchers in selected branches of dentistry using h-index and scientific quality index.Methodology: Data were retrieved from the google scholar (2013-2018) in the eight departments of dentistry. The professors from the faculty of dentistry were randomly selected and among the scientific data were collected by the tool together with year of publication, number of citations, number of published papers, number of paper cited more than 10 times. It was analyzed by the H-index and newly proposed scientific quality index (SQI).Results: The SQI expresses mainly the qualitative features of scientific output, whereas the H-index is more influenced by its quantitative measures.Conclusion: The SQI might be considered as a novel marker of scientific yield quality, though the h-index is more grounded controlled by quantitative measures.Keywords: Citation, H-index,individual output, scientific quality index, Dentist.
