How we did it: Dentists were sent a letter and sample ballot and instructed on how to vote on the magazine’s Web site. To vote, each dentist had to enter a Medical ID number. If they were voting for themselves or someone in their practice it was mandatory to vote for a dentist in the same specialty outside of their office before the vote would count. Voting lasted about three weeks, and the votes were tabulated May 31.
